Javascript dates/string?

I run some Ajax code that brings back a reply that is equal to "1990".  The php page I call literally says...

 

echo "1990";

 

I have an arrray called "answer" where the element in the "1" position is equal to "1990"...

var classicmovies = new Array("1986","1990");

However, when I run the code below, it does not work.  I think it's seeing reply as 1990 rather than "1990", so it's not a match. 

 

As a test, i changed the word reply in the code below to be "1990" (with quotes) and then the code ran fine.

 

I'm guessing something is up with how the date 1990 is being handled as a number instead of a string?  Is there a way to throw quotes around the word reply below?

 

I'm at a loss here.  Anyone know what's wrong?

 

 

function compare(reply){

if (answer[1] == reply) {
//do this
}
}
