Why can make it work

[joaquin386]

I have these:

xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseXML;
// obtain the document element (the root element) of the XML structure
xmlDocumentElement = xmlResponse.documentElement;
// get the text message, which is in the first child of
// the the document element
StatusProcess = xmlDocumentElement.firstChild.data;
// update the client display using the data received from the server
document.getElementById("divMessage").innerHTML =
'<i>' + StatusProcess + '</i>';
// restart sequence
if (StatusProcess == 1)
{
document.getElementById("divMessage").innerHTML ="entra if";
}

Bu the code doesn't go inside the if. Why is that? In the innerHTML outside the if I have a value of 1.
