This needs to be fixed ASAP

I'm with musmom5. The final measurements don't come up. So, I'm assuming the calculation function was not followed through. Don't you folks check things out in-house to make sure they actually work before putting them on-line?

Calculator is not working

Really useful tool... but it won't calculate. Am I missing a button to click on or something?
