string comparision in javascript

Question

i have a combo box from where i get values and i get the values also correct but when i compare them it is not getting compared and i don't get the results too.

if(selectedItems[2] === "Pick Pack"){
                alert("packing Method 1: "+selectedItems[2]);
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="";
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="[email protected]"; 
            }

when i printed selectedItems[2] it gives me Pick Pack but does not get in to the if condition and alert. I tried to alert but the alert is not coming. Please help me to fix this

Best Regards

Is it "Pick Pack" or "Pick Pack "?

Try using

String.prototype.trim=function(){
 return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
};

and

if(selectedItems[2].trim() === "Pick Pack"){
                alert("packing Method 1: "+selectedItems[2]);
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="";
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="[email protected]"; 
            }

Try like this

if(selectedItems[2] === "Pick Pack"){
            var data = 'packing Method 1: '+selectedItems[2],
            alert(data);
}

I guess you are using triple === instead of double ==.

Thanks for the posting. Abhijeet Pawar and Florian Margaine comments gave me start to fix this issue

the following is the code helped to fix the issue;

if($.trim(selectedItems[2]) === $.trim("Pick Pack")){
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="";
                global.getElementById("CIMtrek_daily_contact_1").value="[email protected]"; 
            }
