Data derived from user input text fields is always of the [b]string[/b] data type. There are several ways to deal with this. One I showed you: Number(x) converts x from a string to a numeric value. parseInt(x) also converts x to a number with the advantage of dropping any non-numeric info, so if some wise acre put in "6 miles per hour", parseInt() would ignore anything not a number. It will also discard any decimals, so parseInt("10.8 mph") would return 10. parseFloat() would keep a floating point number: parseFloat("10.95 US Dollars") would return 10.95 - obviously useful if the input was currency, but also useful for keeping any decimal data.
