XML if statement not calling my function

Question

if($(xml).find("error") == 'Search short, please enter a longer search item')
{
  showMinChar();
}

And in my XML

<SearchResults>
<error>Search short, please enter a longer search item</error>
</SearchResults>

Is being displayed but the function showMinChar(); is not being called why?

Without seeing your showMinChar() function, no-one can help you debug it. Also, are you seeing / getting any errors in your JS console? — stealthyninja

No Errors - all showMinChar() does is display a error message onto the screen- i know this works because i've tested it — ahmet

Use like this

if($(xml).find("error").text() == 'Search short, please enter a longer search item')
{
  showMinChar();
}
