XHRHTTPRequest response cannot be equal to normal string

I am trying to compare a success string with xhr.responseText but it is not working, I have no idea why.

if (xhr.responseText == "success")
{
    alert("Yay");
}

What could be the reason? I tried to alert the responseTest and it has exactly same value, "success" in it.

I bet there is something else there. It is better to use console.log instead of alert. Modern day browsers have a console built in.

alert(escape(xhr.responseText));

This will show you other characters that are not visible in the alert.

if you are developer, i suposed that you are working on firefox with firebug, try to print the xhr.response object in order to debug your script with the following sentence: console.log(xhr.responseText);
