could any one help me

the first step would be to print the two values, for instance:
'firstPass ' + " == " + 'secondPass'

maybe in one of the two you have an upper case, which would mean they're not equal.

dear stultuske,
Thanks for your replay,
I tried even with numbers bu still the result false

add a print that shows both the values you're comparing, maybe the values aren't what you think they are.
