I am writing a very basic html calculator. The end result and user inputs are shown in 'textDisplay_' area below:

Solution 1:

I'm pretty sure that your problem is not what you think it is. Please visit this page on your desktop and mobile browser. For me, they produce the same results.

You can try:

var t = 1.0 * getCurrentText();

to get a float.
