Question

How do you compare a value from jQuery with a fixed number?

I thought this might work but it doesn’t:

if (parseInt($('#days').value) > 7) {             alert('more than one week');         } 

Answer 1

if #days is an input then you need .val() instead of value

e.g.

  if (parseInt($('#days').val()) > 7) {         alert('more than one week');    }
