Jquery response from post

Problem I have.... I have listener script in php that does this:

  if ($count != 1) {echo 'no';} else { echo "yes";}

So it echoes "yes" or "no" depending if task was success or not and on my page I have this:

   jConfirm('Are you sure you want to delete this publisher?', 'Delete publisher', function (r) {
    if (r) $.post('includes/publishers/delete-publisher.php?publisherid=' + publisherid, 
    function(data) {
            if (data == 'no') {
            $.jGrowl('Error - PUBLISHER WAS ALREDY DELETED !');
            alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
            } else {
            $(element).parents('tr').remove();
            $.jGrowl('Publisher deleted');       
            alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
            }
        });
});

And the problem is that ALTHOUGH delete-publisher.php echoes "no" (I see it echoed in alert box) - JQuery is always processing this as if response was "yes" !? Am I missing something obvious ?

Solution

  • Likely there's some whitespace in your response. Try using this instead:

    if ($.trim(data) == 'no') {
