How do you know the 'if' isn't working correctly? It doesn't play? At this
point we don't know if the problem is with the 'if' statement itself or with
the code inside it. Have you put another alert *inside* the if statement to
verify whether it actually gets there or not?
The 'if' statement is pretty fundamental to JavaScript. It doesn't fail. So
if something is going wrong, then likely either the value of 'cookie' is not
quite what you expect, or the code inside the if isn't working.
Could the cookie value have some whitespace in it? You wouldn't see that in
an alert. You can check it with things like this:
alert( cookie.length );
alert( '{' + cookie + '}' );
