i am having a problem in JS,i have two variables a and b
both have values like

a= '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638'

b= '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638'

I have applied a condition like

if(a== b)
{
//do some thing
}

The problem is arising is that the if condition is appearing false

I also tried === but its still showing false :(

Can any one tell me whats the reason??

a and b values are same

It must function correctly , Check it like

<script type="text/javascript">

var a = '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638';
var b = '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638';
if(a==b)
{
 alert("true");
}
else
{
 alert("false");
}

</script>

If alerts true than same else alerts false

Hope it helps

My guess is that something is changing a or b (or both). Try using a Javascript debugger (F12 in Internet Explorer, Ctrl-Shift-I in Chrome or use Firebug for Firefox) and add a breakpoint at your "if" statement. You should then be able to examine the values of a and b.

You can also do the following,

XML

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        var a = '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638';
        var b = '1716e362-5afe-4c80-9fff-880aaf109638';
        if (parseInt(a) == parseInt(b)) {
            alert("Match");
        }
        else {
            alert("UnMatch");
        }
    </script>
