Jquery If structure not working as expected

$('#myClick2').click(function () {
                var value = $(this).val();
                If (value != 'on') {
                    $.getJSON('message_center_getMessageLists.asp', {}, function (json) {
                        alert(json.one);
                        alert(json.two);
                        alert(json.three);
                    })
                    .error(function () { alert("There was an error while trying to make this request;  If it persists please contact support"); });
                }
            });

The $.getJSON part was working just fine until I wrapped the IF statement around it. I am trying to get the check box to execute the .getJSON only if it is not currently checked. Anyone have any idea what I am doing incorrectly?

You if statement is capitalized. Change it to lowercase and that should fix your problem.

Also are you sure that the value is in fact not equal to on?

UPDATE

Then what you want to do is use this.checked in the if statement.

"...execute the .getJSON only if it is not currently checked"

Then do it like this...

if (!this.checked) {
    $.getJSON(...

.val() returns the value of the value attribute.

You want if (this.checked) (no jQuery) or if ($(this).is(':checked'))
