My students often have this problem with IE. The JVM in IE is based on Java 1.1. The
parseDouble method was added with Java 1.2 so it doesn't work with IE. I tell them to
go back to the old way using the intermediate step of creating a Double object from
the String object and then converting the Double object to a double. I've never seen
this happen with Netscape but it could be the same thing.

Did you try putting a try/catch block around it?
