if statement incorrect

[marnenlk]

I want to have the variable estimatedVal replaced with avgList if estimatedVal is empty. Something is wrong with my code because with the code below nothing happens. If I remove the if statement everything else works:\[code\]$('#estimatedVal').html($(context).find('ul.estimates a:eq(1)').text() + ' - ' + $(context).find('ul.estimates a:eq(0)').text());if(estimatedVal == ' - '") {$('#estimatedVal').html(avgList);} else {$('#estimatedVal').html(estimatedVal);}\[/code\]What do I need to do to be able to use the if statement?
