jQuery AJAX Success

Question

I'm using jQuery's $.ajax function to submit a form, which works, but the success is where I'm having my problem. Here is my code:

$("#form").submit(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/login/spam',
            data: formData,
            success: function (dataCheck) {
                if (dataCheck == 'value') {
                     //Do stuff
                }
            }
        });
        return false;
    });

The problem I'm having is the if function keeps saying that dataCheck doesn't equal value. I know that it does, because when I remove return false; the page displays value, as expected. Also, I have used an almost identical code before, which works. Could somebody give me some advice?

How to find the answer yourself:

Place a debug code to see what you get from the server.

$("#form").submit(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/login/spam',
            data: formData,
            success: function (dataCheck) {
                console.log(dataCheck); // <==============================
                if (dataCheck == 'value') {
                     //Do stuff
                }
            }
        });
        return false;
    });

It will probably be in other format than you think.
