Am I going insane or is jsFiddle buggy?

Question

Here is my little debugging alert. Almost threw my monitor out of the window. Look only on the highlighted code. On what conditions on earth could this alert be triggered like that? - http://i.stack.imgur.com/nrf1x.png

Here is full fiddle, but I don't think it's important: http://jsfiddle.net/Timson/QqVrF/8/

if (currLoad > maxload){
    alert("I am dumbass, I think that "+currLoad+' is more than '+maxload);
}

Answer 1

Is it possible that the variables are both strings? In a javascript console:

6 > 1000
  false

"6" > "1000"
  true

Answer 2

try :

if (parseInt(currLoad) > parseInt(maxload)){
            alert("I am dumbass, I think that "+currLoad+' is more than '+maxload);
        }

As the earlier answer said you're probably comparing strings..

Answer 3

You get these values from form inputs so they are strings. Comparing strings is different than numbers so "6" > "1000" is true while 6 > 1000 is false.

Each number you obtain from form inputs should be parsed to number if it's supposed to be a number. Use for example parseInt or Number function. For instance: parseInt(currLoad, 10) etc.
