Question

This is my code:

    $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/myURL",
    success: function(msg){
        alert(msg);
        // aler prints success, but msg != "success" ????
        if (msg == "success") {
           //my code
        } else {
           //other code
        }
     }
});

Something weired happens: the alert dialog prints success, but msg != “success”. What am I missing?
My php method just returns “success” or “failure” based on some action.

put this before conditionals:

msg= jQuery.trim(msg).toLowerCase();

Assuming by your code you’re using JQuery
