Please note that there is a difference between the handling of large numbers in different browsers. e.g. 

IE8
<pre><code>
&gt;&gt;decbin(3747030078639374300)
&quot;1.101000000000000100000000000010000000000000001(e+61)&quot;
</code></pre>

Firefox 3.5
<pre><code>
&gt;&gt;&gt; decbin(3747030078639374300)
&quot;11010000000000001000000000000100000000000000010000000000000000&quot;
</code></pre>

This is caused by the fact that Number.toString(2) doesn't work in IE for numbers written in scientific notation internally.

decbin('8') does not work correctly. A fix:

<pre><code>
function decbin(number) {
    return parseInt(number).toString(2);
}
</code></pre>
