Nope, it turns out we really do want truncation. The reason is that the input property to the animation, at least in Ron's case, isn't a single digit, it's the whole value. So you want to pass in the floating point value 29.92 and a step of 10 and get back 2, and *not* round up to 3. You want truncation for everything but the final digit, where rounding is more appropriate and the bias value is a useful workaround. So if there's a design flaw here, it's at a higher level. Maybe what's really needed is a "digit extractor" animation instead. Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
