[Zope] Comparing variables

[Beaudette, Sheree]

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!
