Question

What am I doing wrong here? I even tried it with case instead of if and it does not work

function updateResultPage(the_resp,r) {
    var to_alert="s";

    if(the_resp=="11"){
        to_alert="Thank you!!";
    } 
    else if(the_resp=="22"){
        to_alert="Error:.";
    }
    else if(the_resp=="33"){
        to_alert="ERROR 234dfR,.";
    }

    alert("c "+to_alert+the_resp);
}

I get an alert that displays C s22

Why is it skipping past all the if() statements?

EDIT:
Ok, I added this code to see the exact value of resp: alert("d "+to_alert+" *"+the_resp+"*");
and the second * is coming on the next line, so it looks like i have a trimming problem…

Answer 1

Remove this

alert("c "+to_alert+the_resp);

or add an else

else{
    alert("c "+to_alert+the_resp);
}
