responseText and IE issue

[Jay10k]

Hi, I'm working with the responseText on IE but I have a problem with it

I make this

var test = xmlhttpobject.responseText;

alert(test);

there is no problem with those two lines, the problem is that I'm sending from the server the word "si" and what I get in variable is a 5 characters word.

Then whe I'm trying to verify the word that I'm recieving with this

                     for( var i=0 ;  i<test.length ; i++)
        {
        if (  test[i] == 's' )
             if ( test[i+1] == 'i' )
            test="si";
                    }
 
 

and then I do

if ( test == "si")
document.location.href = "url";

doesn't work and always get into the else statement of the if that didn't put it here.

When I'm verifiying the what the test variable containt with alert(test[i]) always say Undefined for all the characters even if the string has the letters "s" and "i"

The funny thing is that this work on Mozilla Firefox like with almost all the other things

Can someone help me with it?

You're resetting test within the for loop. Use charAt to get the character within the string.

Ohh sorry I forget one line into the if statement

for(var i=0; i<test.length ; i ++)

if(test[i] == 's')
if(test[i+1] == 'i')
{
test = "si"
break;
}

I do actually reset test cause as I said before the string length is of 5 elements and if I compare test == "si" it doesn't match ... even when I'm getting the string back from the server ...


And thank you anyway for your help I will try as you say ...
