Ajax Response Doesn't Equal What I Think It Should

I'm trying to call a displayUsers function, if response equals 'loggedIn' (response is coming from echo statement in php for ajax request). It always jumps straight to the else sta

Solution 1:

// response is an object which you get from ajex.
// You have not written how you call loginCheckResponse()
// call like loginCheckResponse(response.<variable which you return from service page>)
function loginCheckResponse(response)
{
    //check response, if it is "loggedIn" then call show users function
    alert(response);
    if (response == "loggedIn") {
        displayUsers();
    } else {
        alert("Login Failed. Please try again.")
    }

}

Solution 2:

Changed my code to:

    //logged in
function loginCheckResponse(response) {

    if(response.trim()=="loggedIn"){
        displayUsers();
    }
    else{
        alert("Login Failed. Please try again.");
    }

}

It now works. Thanks for the help anyway people.
