Normally, when dividing any number by 0 (zero), computer applications throw an error. After all, multiplying any number with 0 returns 0, thus the opposite does not compute.

Except for the javascript parser in Internet Explorer 8. It returns 'Infinity'. Which, mathematically, is correct.
However, it's quite difficult to calculate with Infinity, and personally I did not expect a javascript parser to wield that kind of power.
Thus, my fellow javascript authors, we shall adjust our scripts:
Cute?
Maybe.
I wonder who expected this behaviour, though.

Need problem solving?
