simple syntax issue

[onressy]

<!--wsbr13_25--> is a value produced by the system from a hidden field

<script>
if(<!--wsbr13_25--> !==100)
{
alert("Each column must equal 100% \n \n The first column does not equal 100%");
history.go(-1);
}
</script>

Whats happening is that if wsbr13_25 is greater that 100 there is no alert, wanting to alert if wsbr13_25 is not 100,

any ideas?

'not familiar with !== ('not trying to be a smart-a**... I know there's an ===, so if you say there is a !==, I'll believe you!).

What happens if you just use != ?

Yes - remove the last equals sign.

Form fields have their values stored as strings, and as you are using the absolute equality test (=== / !==), you are testing for type as well as value equality.

So, effectively, you are comparing a number against a string, which will NEVER be absolutely equal, as they are different types.

Also, this:

if(<!--wsbr13_25-->

is unlike any server-side output I've ever seen. Are you sure that the value if put in place of the "<!--wsbr13_25-->" correctly? How about showing us the client-side source?

If that *is* the client-side source, then expect it to never work, because it's just not correct syntax for JavaScript.

Hope this helps,
