Cannot get condition to work

[Claus Mygind]

I am returning a string from an ajax call. I want to test if any records were returned. If the server side app does not return any records I load the return string with this code

responseText = {"NoRecord":"No records found"}

I test for the NoRecord message like this

	
aString = returnedString.split(";;");

//test if any records were found
if ( aString.indexOf( 'NoRecord":"No records found' ) != -1 )
{
  ....process returned records.....
}else{
  ...display no records returned message...
	}

It always evaluates to the no records found condition even when records are returned. I have also tried the reverse where I still got the same result.

	
aString = returnedString.split(";;");

//test if any records were found
if ( aString.indexOf( 'NoRecord":"No records found' ) == -1 )
{
  ...display no records returned message...
}else{
  ....process returned records.....
	}

I see my problem, aString is an array.

	
aString = returnedString.split(";;");

So I got it too work like this.

	
//test if any records were found
if ( aString[0].indexOf( 'NoRecord":"No records found' ) != -1 )
{
   ... display no records found...
}else{
   ...process records found...
}
