[SOLVED] 9 is bigger than 25 but 10 isn't...

[ViralStef]

Hi all

 

I have a problem with a comparison test to check my form. It has to test if a number is larger than another number:

 

if(form.B.value >= form.B1.value){
alert("test");
}

 

The problem is that when B1 is for example 9 and B is 25, I get no "test"-alert.

But when B1 is 10 and B is 25, It works fine...

 

Thx for the help!!

Grtz

just to make sure you're passing the variables you think you are, do a little testing.

 

change your alert to something like:

 

alert("B: "+ B +" B1: "+ B1);

 

maybe it'll help you see what your problem is.

 

Also, is the javascript recognizing that the values are Numbers? It might not be able to do the calc's if its looking it as a regular string and not a number.

 

if you don't solve it, post some more code (like the HTML the holds the values and the action that triggers the javascript)

try to use parseInt() or parseFloat() to convert the strings into numbers.

Solved! Thought it was something about the type, but I didn't know enough about javascript to fix it. Now it works:)

Thx!
