FAQ:

1. Why use onkeyup instead of a button?
It updates results instantly, letting you see conversions as you type.

2. Is pennyweight common outside the U.S.?
It's mainly used in North America. Elsewhere, grams or carats (for gems) are more standard.

3. Do I need a special scale for dwt?
Some scales include a "dwt" mode. Otherwise, weigh in grams and convert here.

4. How accurate is this tool?
It rounds to 2 decimals for grams, 4 decimals for troy ounces. It's approximate but practical.

5. Does it handle alloys or karats?
No, this converter only adjusts weight from dwt to grams/oz. For purity, see a karat calculator.
