Roller thinks 15 > 15 and chokes on 1d20+null

Detailed Description of the Problem First issue: rolling 1d20 + 9 > 15 (6)+9>15 = 1 Successes Second issue: rolling 1d20 + > 9 (11)+9 = 20 Steps to Reproduce the Problem First issue: Open dice roller. Enter 1d20+9 in the advanced field. Set target to > 15 and keep rolling till you get a 6. Perhaps what was intended was >= ? 2nd issue: Delete the 9 from the advanced field and change the target to 9. Roll. You'll see that while it shows it was rolling for a condition, the die mod is null and the condition isn't checked. Adding the number 0 to the advanced field fixes it: rolling 1d20 + 0 > 9 (13)+0>9 = 1 Successes Description of Your Setup (Browser + Version, Operating System, etc.) Firefox v 16.0.1 Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 AMD Athlon II You can also include screenshots by using the "Attach a File" link when submitting a post.

This is a years-long held dream come true for me! Please keep up the good work! Thanks!
Oh. Forgot to mention I have NoScript installed, but have everything on the roll20 page unblocked if that makes any difference.
Kitau, Haha, thanks for the screenshots :-) On your first issue, it is indeed ">=" even though the syntax is only ">". Check this out for more info: <a href="http://help.roll20.net/dice-rolling-reference/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/dice-rolling-reference/</a> "A success occurs when a rolled dice value plus any modifiers is equal to or greater than the target number, or less than or equal to the target number, depending on the symbol used." We'll add some better checking for the advanced field, as well. Thanks!
I did think this was kind of weird. Is that the conventional use of ">" in dice rollers that I don't know about, or is that syntax invented for Roll20? If it's the latter, I'd love to see it changed to ">=".

I believe the normal understanding of > and to indicate that the roll is versus a target number." The sentance does not clearly state that the roll is equal or greater than a target number. Later on (at the very bottom, where most people's attention span has waned) it does state this: "A success occurs when a rolled dice value plus any modifiers is equal to or greater than the target number, or less than or equal to the target number, depending on the symbol used." Possible solutions: bold the word equal, add words to the earlier sentance that indicate ">=" or "<=" . Thank you - Gauss Edit: I am unsure why is showing up.
Riley: So glad I can put a smiley on your text-based face! ;) Sorry I missed that bit in the help text. Glad I pointed out at least one thing useful, heh. Owen: I don't *think* it's conventional, but that's with my having only used dicelog.com the past couple years which has all the all three operators and their combos: , =, >=, and <= Gauss: Yup. I totally missed that, heh. Edit: Interesting. I got the as well. And it appears after <=. I'm guessing there's some html code that makes it glitch on that combo of chars. Edit 2: Huh. Didn't appear for the second use of <= so maybe my guess is wrong.
