Conditional operators in javaScript

[Anant Rao]

Hi,

I am using struts and javascript for validation

I want to check two fiels with <= condition. When save button is clicked it should display a alert msg.

Below is the code:
if(document.form.TargetNumber.value <=document.form.SubmissionNumber.value){
alert("wrong number entered");
return false;
}

But the application behaves weird..at times it displays msg and yet times it does not. As per my oberservation if single digits are entered it works fine but when double digits are entered it does not throw the alert msg.

can any one help me out whats problem with code or suggest any alternative

Happy New Year

You do realize that that code is doing string comparisons?

To add what Bear is saying you need to use parseInt or parseFloat on the values to make them numeric.
