[Nfb-web] java script glitch

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

thanks, i'll get to these later today.
i'll mod the php that generated the value segment.
the dollar sign doesn't get injected into any of the mysql tables.
the php explode function splits the value into name and dollar value and 
throws away the dollar sign.
i also burned hours on a comma error and had to use str_replace to wipe out 
the commas as 1,200 + 2,500 = 3 instead of 3,700.
