Check field value in Dispform Sharepoint 2007

Question

I've this code into Content editor Web part in Display Form of Sharepoint 2007:

<p>
    <script src="/GCAP/JQuery/jquery-1.5.js">
    </script>  
    <script type="text/javascript">


$(document).ready(function() {
var sField1 = $('h3:contains("sino")').closest('td').next('td').text();
    alert("sField1:"+ sField1);
    if (sField1 == "No"){
       alert("prove");
    } 

});
    </script>

</p>

The variable sField1 is equal to "No", but when check it i don't show alert("prove").

Why, even if the value is the same, it doesn't go in "then" clause?

Thank for your help.

Regards, Francesco

Answer 1

Use jQuery.trim( str )

Description: Remove the whitespace from the beginning and end of a string.

if($.trim(sField1) == "No") { alert('prove') } ;
