Something appears to be breaking in the Javascript on your page. I tried
this on the demo, and a recalculate works fine.

Possibly you have some other javascript on the page which is being broken by
the recalc? The browser is hitting a Javascript error and disabling
scripting which is causing the fallback to the <noscript> code you are
seeing on the page. Have a look at the bottom of the browser window for any
clues.

Mouseover status bar messages? Not sure..
