Hi
I am a problem comparing DDC AND "DDC" , the if statement is not working.
here is my javascript code

var DDC=document.getElementById("<%= hvalue.ClientID %>").value; 
 
         if  (DDC=="DDC")
             {
              radalert (DDC); 
             }

Can u start your own thread please mate

Quite right. I've split this off into its own thread. Please do not hijack other members' threads.

Onto your problem: do you get any errors? Have you checked that the value is really "DDC"?

[sabel]

Yes, this how a go about it.
var DDC=document.getElementById("<%= hvalue.ClientID %>").value;
alert(ddc);
and the popup display DDC
pls help.

Check that there's no spaces. If there's a space it won't show on the alert, but an exact comparison would fail.
