[SOLVED] jQuery if problem

[alex3]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems with an 'if' statement inside a $.post statement. I haven't put this in AJAX because I don't think the problem is with post, but rather something wrong with the 'if' statement I can't see.

 

$.post(
"login_check.php", // File to POST to
{ username:userName, password:passWord }, // Data to POST to file
		function(data) { // Function to call after POST, 'data' is data recieved from POST file
	if(data=="yes"){
		alert('woop');
		window.location='index.php'; }
		else {
		alert('dang');
		$('form #submit').show(); }
	}
);

 

I really can't see the problem with the 'if' statement, but even if I put the right values in to the form, I always get the 'dang' pop up. I know that the values are right because if I go to index.php (which verifies that a user has logged in) it verifies correctly. userName and passWord are variables defined earlier.

 

What have I missed?

Stupid mistake. Had the echos in the PHP file still containing some stuff I used during testing rather than just 'yes' and 'no'. Works fine now. What an idiot!
