[jQuery] Re: What's the correct way to write this code?

[Hobo]

success: function(response){
     switch (response.login){
          case 'Login Successful':
               top.location.href = 'site_manager.cfm';
               break;
          case 'Login Unsuccessful':
               $('#contentdiv').empty().fadeIn(1000).append
(response.login);
               break;
     }
}

Also, be sure to use the "is equal to" operator, which is 2 equal
signs, when doing comparisons.

response.login = "Login Successful";     // Sets response.login to the
string "Login Successful"
response.login == "Login Successful";  // Tests to see if
response.login is equal to the string "Login Successful"
