redirection problem...

Hi all, actually i am not sure what's wrong with my redirection servlet script...

part of my servlet code:

if (menu1 !=null){

out.print(menu1);

if (menu1 =="$501-$1000"){

response.sendRedirect("http://www.yahoo.com");

}else{

out.println("Section 2 codes...");

}

ok when i do a out.print(menu1), i got this

$501-$1000;

however why it doesn't enter my if (menu1 == "$501-$1000") Control Structure and redirect me to other site? Can someone explain to me pls... thanks.
