I am checking the value of a variable I have just loaded from a php file.  
I copy this value to a dynamic text box named checkLog (just for debugging purposes).  
The value of checkLog is indeed 1, but the condition  
if(this.checkLog == 1)  
fails.

I used sendAndLoad to get the value of checkLog from the php file.

Any ideas?  
Am I doing an incorrect comparison?
