Probably obvious problem in JavaScript

Question

Hi,

I think this is just an obvious problem that I can't spot because I've been staring at code too long today. I have this callback as part of a JQuery POST:

                        function(data){
                                if(data == 'yes') {
                                        $('div.done').show();
                                } else if(data != 'yes') {
                                        $('div.error').show();
                                        alert(data);
                                }
                        });

I get the error div shown, yet in the alert all I get is yes. Anyone got any pointers (as I said, I imagine it's some really obvious mistake that I've missed).

Thanks

Debuggng 101:

function (data) {
    alert(escape(data));
    if (data == 'yes') {
        $('div.done').show();
    } else if (data != 'yes') {
        $('div.error').show();
        alert(data);
    }
});
