I do this $.post:

setTimeout("my_function();",1000); 
function my_function()
{
var OrdID = "<?php echo $OrdID; ?>";
var UserID = "<?php echo $UserID; ?>";

$.post("addtocart.php",{

OrdID: OrdID,
UserID: UserID

}, function(data) {
$('#refresh').html(data);

console.log(data);

if (data != "Empty")
{
console.log(data);
}

});

And the addtocart.php echoes back “Empty” or a numeric value but the “if statement” is not working. Why?(new to $.post). Thanks

I tried:

if (data == "Empty")
{
console.log(data);
}

function myFunc() {
if (data == "Empty")
{
console.log(data);
}
}

var check = data;

if (check == "Empty")
{
console.log(check);
}

Was expecting the if statement to work but result is no entry in the console
