Bug 16162

Parsing a float with parseFloat() doesn't return the same result for all locales. Sample script: <script> var input = prompt("Enter 0,5 or 0.5"); var test = 0.5; if(input != null) test = parseFloat(input); alert(eval("test == 0.5")); alert(eval("test == '0.5'")); if(test == 0.5) alert("Works!"); else alert("Pain!"); </script> Tests data: en_US: Entering 0.5 will produce true, true, then Works! fr_CA: Entering 0.5 will produce false, true then Pain! Entering 0,5 will produce true, false, then Works! Expected results (if parseFloat shouldn't use locale): en_US: Entering 0.5 will produce true, true, then Works! fr_CA: Entering 0.5 will produce true, true, then Works! Entering 0,5 will produce false, false, then Pain! (I guess)
