cant trigger javascript

 success: function (data) {
        if(data=='alreadysubmit')
                                 {
            alert("Sorry,but you have already submitted your answer");
                            $.getScript('static/js/draw.js', function()
                    {
                        alert("hi");
                    });
                                 }
        else{
            $("input:checked").next().text('Votes:'+data);
            }
     }

what above is a snippet of my code, which is supposed to load Google Visualization APT,in the javascrpit draw.js. The draw.js is somewhere else in my local drive and I thought I can trigger it in the $.getScript function because in the draw.js there are some functions that I need to use for the current page. btw, the alert("hi") did take effect and the page kept loading... Am I supposed to do this? the idea is that I want to use draw.js only if the condition is met,if(data=='alreadysubmit'). Thank you in advance.

Multiple lines inside a conditional block must be surrounded by { and }.

So:

if (data=='alreadysubmit')
   alert("Sorry,but you have already submitted your answer");
   $.getScript('static/js/draw.js', function() {
       alert("hi");
   });

becomes:

if (data=='alreadysubmit') {
   alert("Sorry,but you have already submitted your answer");
   $.getScript('static/js/draw.js', function() {
       alert("hi");
   });
}

Your snippet fully corrected in this regard:

if (data == 'alreadysubmit') {
   alert("Sorry,but you have already submitted your answer");
   $.getScript('static/js/draw.js', function() {
       alert("hi");
   });
}
else {
   $("input:checked").next().text('Votes:'+data);
}

                    });
        }else{
            $("input:checked").next().text('Votes:'+data);


        }
     }

This?
