My guess is one of your variables is a string, the other an int. Do something like: <dtml-if "_.string.atoi(seqnum) == copyitem"> to convert your sequence item or copyitem, which ever is the string, to an int.

I have a form that sets the variable copyitem, a number from 1 to ...
(an
integer)
<input type="text" name="copyitem">
Once I submit the form
I want copyitem to be compared with a sequence-number from a SQL query, code as follows
<dtml-in clsqGetNotes> <dtml-let seqnum=sequence-number> <dtml-if "seqnum == copyitem"> do something true <dtml-else> do something false </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in>
Since I've written these variables to the screen I know that they're equal, yet they still do the 'do something false' .
I hope it's something easy I've overlooked. I didn't know if there were type differences that I need to convert. How do I convert these? Do I need a python script? I'm new to Python so can you help???
Thanks in advance!
