If and Else statement help

I just need some simple validation for a text input field. The code that I am trying to get to work is:

on (release) {

if(name == “foo”){

form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");

getURL("http://www.cnn.com", "_self");

} else {

getURL("http://www.msn.com", "_self");

}

}

The code is on the submit button, however no matter what I input it never hits the else statement. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
