Are you sure you are comparing two utf-8 encoded bytestrings? (Also, I
think you mean ASCII, not ansi.) It sounds like you might have one Unicode
object and one utf-8 encoded bytestring; these will not compare as equal
with {% ifequal %}. If that is what you are doing your server (if you using
the dev server) should also be printing a warning:
UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to
Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
(I actually find this a little surprising, as usually bytestrings are
assumed to be utf-8 encoded within Django, so my initial guess would have
been that comparing a unicode string to its utf-8 encoded bytestring value
would have resulted in True from {% ifequal %}, but that doesn't seem to be
the case.)
