Description
What's my share lets you put in a total amount, a list of people and their percentages, and then it will calculate how much each person owes.
app thought i should enter a project for NANY 2010 and linked me to a post on the forums. I thought it would be easy to do and it ended up being a pretty fun project. A big thanks to mouser and the denizens of the donationcoder irc channel.

Usage
Start by entering the total amount to be divided up between participants. Then add each person followed by their share percentage. As you fill in the values, the amount of their share will be calculated and displayed instantly.

Known Issues
Internet Explorer is unable to use the remember last data function because of issues with the json handling functions.

mouser:
You did a great job with this -- really really great  :Thmbsup:

Perry Mowbray:
This is great!  :Thmbsup:

One small issue: the Normalize button mucks up any rows that are proportioned with a "*"

Unnormalized:


Normalized:

mouser:
That's basically by design i think, buy maybe the alert box triggered when you click Normalize should tell you whats going to happen and let you cancel.

Perry Mowbray:
The alert box does say what's happening... just not that the * entries will be zeroed out.

Essentially what happens when you normalize a list with * entries, is that it removes, or zeros, those entries.

Really, Normalizing and * entries are functionally opposite: you never would want to normalize a list with * entries unless you wanted to remove them?

 :-[ Which basically means I'm understanding it a bit better now...
