  I have not tried this widget under other operating systems, but under Mac OS X 10.4.7, the text entry is very strange: you need to click the far right sides of the text fields, after which the parser appears to the right of the corresponding field and the text is right-aligned. The right-alignment might be as designed, but the positioning looks accidental (the "Timestamp Converter" widget also has text box issues under Mac OS X). If you are using a Mac, perhaps your text issues are the same as mine, "Fred100".

  Here's the calculation function. No magic. And nobody will get 100%. function calculatePercentage(string1, string2) { var val1 = hashIt(string1.toLowerCase()); var val2 = hashIt(string2.toLowerCase()); var percentage = ( (val1 + val2) % 100); if (percentage == 100) percentage--; // Nobody's perfect ;-) return percentage; } function hashIt(string) { var val = 0; for (i = 0; i < string.length; i++) { val = 37 * val + string.charCodeAt(i); } return val; } The Opera guy who wrote this should know that (val1 + val2) % 100 is a number between 0 and 99, so the comparison with 100 is useless.

  The reason it's not possible to enter text on the left side of the text input fields is the overlaying graphics (His/her name, Your name). Style beats function here.

  I entered my name and my ex-husband's name and came up with 0% - so it was spot on.

  GeeZus...I think if you enter your first and last names your get a higher ranking. We were at 4%with just our first name.....80% with first and last (not married) ratface35

  This is very accurate Tony Blair & George Bush scored 88%

  Need better understanding of how it works. Does it change if you put the same persons name in every day? Is it like a mood ring, where the percentage for the same names changes each day? It's cute but wish it have more sparks.
