I'm trying to make a button appear if condition "isauthenticated" is "true".

used this as a reference, but not sure what's wrong with my code.

<button id="authentic" type="hidden">test</button>

<script>
    window.onload = function() { 
        var logedIn = ('{{isauthenticated}}')

        if(logedIn == "true") {
            document.getElementById('authentic').style.display = 'block'; 
        } else {
            document.getElementById('authentic').style.display = 'none';
        }
    }
</script>

• javascript
• if-statement
• boolean

• 10 What's {{isauthenticated}}? Set by the server? Ractive.js template variable? – Zeta Commented Nov 7, 2013 at 16:48
• 1 check logedIn against true and not "true" – Anto Jurković Commented Nov 7, 2013 at 16:50
• 2 Did you try to log to console logedIn value? – Adriano Repetti Commented Nov 7, 2013 at 16:50

Ok Guys, sorry for the bad question. This is what I was looking for

   <script>
   var isAuth = ('{{ user.isauthenticated}}');
   if (isAuth) true;

   document.getElementById("menuProfile").style.display="block";
   document.getElementById("showProfile").style.display="none";

   </script>

if logedIn is a boolean value you need to remove the "'s from the if(logedIn == "true") { line

or just check:

if(logedIn) {...

Please refer to Boolean Javascript documentatiion:

If the Boolean object has no initial value, or if the passed value is one of the following:

0,-0,null,"",false,undefined,NaN the object is set to false. For any other value it is set to true (even with the string "false")!

see what value does logedIn have before the if!
