How do I compare numbers in a natural order

[axsom1]

My problem is our application requires client certificates. All I'm doing is retrieving the number of days left on the certificate and passing that into this little script.

<%
dim cert_days

cert_days = DateDiff("d", Now, Request.ClientCertificate("ValidUntil"))
%>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var days_left = "<%=cert_days%>";

function cert_date_check() {

if (days_left <= "15")
{
alert("Your certificate is only good for " + days_left +" more days.\nContact XXXXXXXX at (xxx) xxx-xxxx to request a new certificate");
}
}
</script>

My question is how do I compare the numbers correctly? Currently it will alert the user if they have 149 days or less left on the certificate.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Use parseInt to cast the number to an integer. Then you can make normal numerical comparisons.

<%
dim cert_days

cert_days = DateDiff("d", Now, Request.ClientCertificate("ValidUntil"))
%>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var days_left = [b]parseInt(<%=cert_days%>, 10)[/b];

function cert_date_check() {

    if (days_left <= 15)
    {
    alert("Your certificate is only good for " + days_left +" more days.\nContact XXXXXXXX at (xxx) xxx-xxxx to request a new certificate");
    }
}
</script>
