I need some help!! 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!
