Compare decimal numbers

Hi.

I'm a bit stuck in my coding.
I have a rating system, and I need to show x numbers of stars depending of total score.

I have the total score but when I try to show starts noting is show if the total scores is a decimal number.

I have this on top:
<xsl:decimal-format name="euro" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/>
and the is the total score variable:
<xsl:variable name="ScoreValue" select="format-number($TotalSingleScore div $SuperTotal *10,'#.###,##','euro')"/>

and here is the thing I try to do:

<xsl:if test="$ScoreValue >= 7.34 and $ScoreValue <= 9.99">
<img src="/img/greenstar.png" class="ratestar"/>
<img src="/img/greenstar.png" class="ratestar"/>
<img src="/img/greenstar.png" class="ratestar"/>
<img src="/img/greenstar.png" class="ratestar"/>
</xsl:if>

No stars is shown if $ScoreValue output is 5,6 only if the $ScoreValue is like 5 or 6 ...

Can anyone help me out here.

Hi Palle,

The format-number() function returns a formatted string, which you shouldn't use in comparisons (you're comparing a string with a number). You should only use it to display the value(s).

Try something like this instead:
```
<xsl:variable name="ScoreValue" select="$TotalSingleScore div $SuperTotal * 10" />
<xsl:variable name="ScoreValueFormatted" select="format-number($ScoreValue, '#.###,##', 'euro')" />
```
