Convert Dollars From One Year to Equivalent Dollars in Another Year
Calculate Inflation Rates Between Two Years
The brown/tan cells are input fields. For example, enter the start and end years and immediately see the inflation rate between the two years. Enter a price and convert between the start year price and end year price (e.g., from 1900 to 2011 dollars -- or vice versa). Note: may not work in Chrome?

It worked on my HP laptop with Windows 7 and Internet explorer 9.
ReplyDeleteIt did not work on my Dell desktop with Vista and Chrome. No image at all.
ReplyDeleteOn my Droid Razr I could see the image, but could not enter data until I switched from the mobile version to the web version of the site.
ReplyDeleteNow it seems to work in mobile mode as well as web mode.
DeleteWorks fine on my Dell laptop running with Windows 7
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm told it also works on Mac/Safari. My biggest concern now is those who use Chrome as their browser (about 25% or my traffic).
DeleteThis works perfectly on my Mac running Firefox.
