[Zope] comparing two variables type="int"

[Charlie Reiman]

Be more specific. How is it failing? Do you get a runtime error or are
things just not evaluating the way you expect?

In either case, try:

<dtml-if expr="int(A)==int(B)">
blargh
</dtml-if>

Just because you think it's an int, doesn't mean it is an int.

There is also the possibility that "A" and "B" are not available directly in
python (assuming the real variables you are trying to access are not "A" and
"B"). This is a common DTML problem since lots of DTML vars have "-" in
their names, which will confuse python.

So you would do this:

<dtml-if expr="int(_['A'])==int(_['B'])">
blech
</dtml-if>
