</div>It's a spaces/quotes issue. Apparently the "equal" condition ignores<br>
any subsequent arguments after the 2 that it is comparing for<br>
equality. Thus:<br>
<br>
...if="equal abc abc"<br>
...if="equal abc abc def ghi"<br>
<br>
will both result in true. "abc" is equal to "abc" and the "def" and<br>
"ghi" are ignored. However,<br>
<br>
...if="equal abc 'abc def ghi'"<br>
<br>
(using single quotes to hold 'abc def ghi' together as a single string<br>
for the second argument) will result in false.<br>
<br>
Note the additional example I placed on this page:<br>
