De-Bunking Rumors

[chuckray]

one of the best rumors ever was yesterday :

jordanian islamic bank showing rv rate of 3.22 usd= 1iqd---and it was on their website !!!

The Jordanian Islamic Bank currency converter is using an unlicensed version of aquariussoft.com’s currency converter. If you go to http://aquariussoft.com/currency-converter/default.asp you’ll see the real IQD rates. On JIB’s site, they are getting a ‘rate set’ in javascript that has a date of 2004 on it which you can see here:

var rate = new Object();var lastdate=”UNREGISTERED. January 2 2004 05:06:37 GMT. UNREGISTERED”;rate['IQD']=0.309997;

Please don’t believe any rumors about that site having an RV’d IQD rate

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi all,

I just have a question about this. If the currency convertor is outdated, I get that but why is it that rate. I pulled up

the UN operational rates of exchange for 2004 and it was 1650 in Jan 2004. I just think that is strange. Probably

nothing but I thought I would ask anyone else. Is it maybe cause the UN didn't acknowlege Iraq at that time?

Not trying to argue with you.... But I looked it up with JSView in firefox, and this is what it says about the currency converter:

function calculate(bReverse) {

var select1 = document.curconvert.covertfrom;

var select2 = document.curconvert.covertto;

var select1_text = select1[select1.selectedIndex].text;

var select2_text = select2[select2.selectedIndex].text;

var fromval;

var toval;

//these error messages are hidden values in the templates

//they get translated into foreign languages

var errmsg1 = "An error has occurred with this selection. Please select two currencies and try again.";

var errmsg2 = "Please enter a valid amount.";

if (fromval == null && toval == null)

{

fromval = rate[select1[select1.selectedIndex].value];

toval = rate[select2[select2.selectedIndex].value];

}

if (fromval == null || toval == null)

{

document.curconvert.amount2.value="0.00";

return true;

}

if (fromval == "" || toval == "" || isNaN(fromval) || isNaN(toval)) {

alert(errmsg1);

return false;

}

if (bReverse)

var amount = removecommas(document.curconvert.amount2.value);

else

var amount = removecommas(document.curconvert.amount.value);

if (isNaN(amount)){

alert(errmsg2);

document.curconvert.amount.focus();

return false;

}

var pattern = /,/g;

amount = amount.replace(pattern, "");

showConversion(fromval, toval, amount, bReverse);

setCookie("szCurrTo", select2[select2.selectedIndex].value);

setCookie("szCurrToTxt", select2[select2.selectedIndex].text);

}

function lastupdate() {

paintNSCP();

}

else if ((navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) ||

paintDOM();

}

calculate();

}

function paintNSCP() {

document.layers['lastupdate'].document.write('<NOBR><SPAN CLASS="lastupdate">'+lastupdate );

document.layers['lastupdate'].document.close();

}

}

function round(num) {

var x = num * 10000;

return (Math.round(x) / 10000);

}

function removecommas(amount)

{

var length=amount.length;

var s=amount.toString();

var returnval = "";

for (var i=0;i<=length;i++) {

if (amount.substr(i, 1)!=',')

returnval=returnval+amount.substr(i, 1);

}

return returnval;

function toCurrency(num) {

var currstring = num.toString();

if (currstring.match(/\./)) {

Could someone please explain this in English?

[aliveandcare]

Could someone please explain this in English?

Yeah. Look at the above rates.... None of them are correct at all. Is you convert 1 dinar to the yen, it should be 15. Not 350 like the site says... It is just wrong. all of the currencies are converting back to 2004.
