javascript to use value obtain using .html as a string in a condition

[ehya]

let say i have this:\[code\]alert($('#child_check').html()); if($('#child_check').html() != "Select..." || $('.funnel_items').val() == "5" || $('.funnel_items_sub').val() != "Select..."){ return true; }else{ alert("No Sub category selected!"); return false; }\[/code\]the .html return:\[code\]   No available selection for this action.\[/code\]how will i be able to check if .html is equal to the string inputted since if i alert $('#test').html() it contains that string but the condition does not return true, so i was wondering what is wrong with this code?also is it really not possible to use .html value as a string comparison for a codiThank you
