679857 - parseInt should interpret string numbers with Exponent correctly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Anton Stoychev]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

parseInt('1e+7')


Actual results:

The result was 1


Expected results:

The result should be 10000000

Why would Math.round/abs('1e+7') equals 10000000 but parseInt('1e+7') equals 1?

The expected result in this case is wrong; this is how the JavaScript function parseInt() works. For more details see:

Yes, I've read here and there. 
That's why I've filed another report. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679870 which turned out to be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470769

I do use the search but keywords are not always the same
