Question

function validateForm() {
    var x = document.forms[\"frmOrder\"][\"t         


        

Answer 1

You should convert them to number before compare.

Try:

if (+x > +y) {
  //...
}

or

if (Number(x) > Number(y)) {
  // ...
}

Note: parseFloat and pareseInt(for compare integer, and you need to specify the radix) will give you NaN for an empty string, compare with NaN will always be false, If you don't want to treat empty string be 0, then you could use them.
