Getting error while using .Val() in jquery
<p>I am using JQuery and I have got below JQuery Code sample.</p>

<p><strong>JQuery Code:</strong></p>

<pre><code> $.ajax({  
        type: "POST",
        url: "Login.aspx",  // Send the login info to this page
        data: str,  
        success: function(result)
        {  
             // Show 'Submit' Button
            $('#loginButton').show();

            // Hide Gif Spinning Rotator
            $('#ajaxloading').hide();  

            var resLength = (result).val().trim().length;
            alert(resLength);
            if(resLength!=0)
            {

                var arr = result.split(",");
                var fname = arr[0];
                var lname = arr[1];
                var activeCardNo = arr[2];
                var multipleTier = arr[3];
                var activeStatus = arr[4];
                var access = arr[5];
            }
        }
    }); 
</code></pre>

<p>In Above code sample when I am trying to use <strong>.val()</strong> in below line </p>

<pre><code>var resLength = (result).val().trim().length;
</code></pre>

<p>it is giving error <strong>"result.val is not a function"</strong>, If I am using just <strong>result.trim().length</strong> its working fine in firefox, however giving error in IE.</p>

<p>Please suggest!</p>
