Question

I have this code to add a user:

$.post('ajax/aj_adduser.php', $("form#adduserform").serialize(), function(result) {
disablePopup();             $('#addsuccess').delay(200).fadeToggle('slow').delay(2000).fadeToggle('slow');  
$('div.mainadmin').html(result);            
});

which works almost fine 🙂
The problem is, that the line:

$('#addsuccess').delay(200).fadeToggle('slow').delay(2000).fadeToggle('slow');  

should only be executed if the user was added, so not if the result set contains the message that this user already exists.

How do I fix this? I first tried to execute upon success or not of the POST, but it always succeeds, it is just the outcome, the result set that is different.

All help appreciated!

$.post('ajax/aj_adduser.php', $("form#adduserform").serialize(), function(result) {
    disablePopup();   
    if(result.YourMessage == ...){
        $('#addsuccess').delay(200).fadeToggle('slow').delay(2000).fadeToggle('slow');     
    }  
    else{ ... }        
    $('div.mainadmin').html(result);            
});
