What's wrong with this jquery if then function
<p>Here's my function.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
  if( $('#bla').text() &gt; 1 ) {
    alert( "yup!" );
  }else{
    alert( "nope!" );
  }
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I tested it out numerous times and it doesn't open the alerts. What's wrong?</p>
