Sending string from servlet to ajax function

Question

I am making an ajax request to my servlet and the servelt responds with this code:

resp.getOutputStream().print("t")

In the ajax onreadystate function I am doing

if(xmlhttp.responseText.equals("t")){//...}

But it is not entering into the if statement. Why is it so?

String objects don't have any "equals" method in Javascript. You should use the '==' operator instead.
