Display Message on success Using Jquery

On the success function of jquery ajax request i am displaying a message in span tag.

success: function(data) {
       if(data = true) {
          $("#result").text("is available"); 
       }else {
          $("#result").text("is not available"); 
       }
});

When data is true then "is available is display which is ok but when data is false then still it display "is available instead of "is not available.

data = true needs to be data === 'true'.

data = true attempts to set the value of data to the Boolean true. data === 'true' compares data to the string 'true'.

For more info on JS comparison operators, see this page.

You're assigning data to true, do 

data == true

You just want to test if data exists. Use the following

success: function(data) {
       if(data) {
          $("#result").text("is available"); 
       }else {
          $("#result").text("is not available"); 
       }
});
