Description

1. This has to do with the "validwhen" validations. Especially when used with "float" as defined in validation.xml.
Scenario: I have a field which is validated as follows:

• It is a float.
• It has to be > 0.

When I input 0, the validation works correctly i.e. I get an error. But when I input 0.0, the validation does not raise an error.

My thought is that there is a problem with the way the <var> element for the "validwhen" is parsed.

2. Another place where I see somewhat similar behavior is as follows.
Scenario: I have a field which is validated as follow:

• It is a float
• It has to <= 12

When I input something like 4, it goes through fine i.e. I don't get an error. But when I input something like 4.5 or 4.7 or 5.3 (basically numbers with decimal points), I get an error.
