FF1 and IE6 JavaScript parsers/readers/w-e are screwed up...

I was writing a code to calculate any three numbers with each of the four arithmetic signs (+,-,*,/) alternating positions in the two slots. A simplified version of the troublesome code is below. In both FF1 and IE6, it comes up with the number 11 for (x+x)/x, where x is your favorite number, and FF1 then deletes the text. (I thought maybe it was just the IE6 parser, so I tried FF1. I'm assuming FF1 has a completely separate problem.) I find that if I feed the number directly into the JS -(5+5)/5-, it comes up with 2, the correct answer, but can't handle input variables. Is it adding "1"+"1", instead of 1+1, or what?

Code:

 
<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   Oddness...
  </title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
   function calc(x,y,z){
    var problemChild=y+z
    var yzxaddidiv=problemChild/x
    ABC=Math.round(yzxaddidiv)
    if(yzxaddidiv!=ABC){
     yzxaddidiv="N/A"
    }
    document.getElementById("output").value=yzxaddidiv
   }
  </script>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form id="calc">
   <input type=text id="x" />
   <input type=text id="y" />
   <input type=text id="z" />
   <button onClick=calc(x.value,y.value,z.value)>Calculate</button>
  </form>
  <form id="result">
   <textarea id="output" rows="10" cols="30"></textarea>
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

Is this everyone's computer or just mine?
