Re: Showif date range comparison

It keeps the original formatting.

texte = >I tried your suggestion but still can't get a comparison. It may be that my >Shipdate variable is defined as a date and the week1 variable as a number. >How do I compare the two? > >[showif [Shipdate]>[week1]][Minutes][/showif] Look in the HTML docs for the [math] and [format] and [getchars] contexts. Using one or more of these contexts will allow you to re-format both the [Shipdate] and the [week1] values -- to be represented as the number of days since 0000. Once you've reformatted these values, they will compare properly and give you the correct results when used in the [showif] tag ... :)Sincerely, Kenneth Grome WebDNA Consultant Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
