Why is 25 greater than 180? 2

[southbeach]

I am using JS to validate and make sure users do not enter values greater than expected or allowed.

I am having problem with this. Where the maximum allowed is 180, if one enter a number like 25, my existing logic says that 25 is greater than 180.

I figure it is doing an alpha comparison and of course, 2 is greater than 1. I need this to be numeric.

How do I solve this?

Thanks!

Do a google search for parseInt or parseFloat

parseInt(String) will return an integer from a string.

Great guys!

Is there a cheat sheet or cheat page where one could reference these?
