AJAX problem - plz help

[eanimator]

Greetings,

this is my javascript function which handles response:
function handleResponse()
{
if((http.readyState == 4)&&(http.status == 200)){
var response = http.responseText.split('|');

alert(response[0] ); // here it displays true or false it runs last condition instead of going in first or second condition
if(response[0] == 'true'){
alert("oh yes");
}else if(response[0] == 'false'){
alert("oh no");
}else{
alert("nothing");
}
}
}

when response[0] = true or false it executes last condition instead of going in first or second condition . Any idea?

Please help!

Thanks in advance

hi

the error could be on the if loop

the value returned could be a boolean one as true or false

but you are comparing it with the string 'true' and not the boolean value true.

That could be the cause

try

if(response[0] == true){
alert("oh yes");
}else if(response[0] == false){
....
...
....

no it's string i.e "true"

Response is echoed:

echo "true"; //PHP

hi

Try using === instead of ==, i think it will work

could that be parameter on your response function?

function handleResponse(http)
{

I cannot find the reference to http
