= operator producing strange results

[JonathanG6SWJ]

Hi Guys

This has to be something so incredibly simple, I'm sure I'm going to be embarrassed by the answer.

if intpage =9 then
Response.Write "Confirmed intpage= 9 " 
End If
>>>>>Result true Response.Write outputs text

if intpagecount =9 then
Response.Write"intPageCountpage= 9"
End If
>>>>>Result true Response.Write outputs text
		 
if intpage=intpagecount then
Response.Write "Sucess intpage = intPageCount !They are equal "
End If
>>>>>Result not true No Ouput Text.

(nb. >>>>> is the result I get & not part of code)

Both int's are numerical (or at least if I do +1 they increment by one in value

Many thanks in advance
Jonathan

What happens if you do:

If (cInt(intpage) = cInt(intpagecount)) Then

It does indeed sound like ASP considers one of your values to not be an int. Adding 1 to it will, indeed, convert it to an int (the processor is smart enough), but comparing them doesn't necessarily provide instant conversion. You're probably asking it to compare "9" to 9.

Go with Sheco's suggestion, If CInt(intpage) = CInt(intpagecount) Then

Question guys,

As Chris, his code works fine as-is on my server. I perswonally use the CInt or CStr to verify but why would it work on ours and not his? Curious minds wanna know..

Probably because he doesn't have the same source for his values that you do. His was likely hardcoded in, while I am betting your two values came from a database.
