Folks.

I am using <apex:commandButton value="Next" action="{!method1}" rerender="test" oncomplete="complete1();"/>

Once the method1 executes, it updates a boolean variable to 'true' and in the constructor this variable value is set as false

public void method1(){
                fieldstatus='true';
                //system.debug('fieldstatus:'+fieldstatus);
    }
Now on VF page , i want to access this variable value so used oncomplete, but in the oncomplete function i always got the value as false.

function complete1() {
        var check1= '{!fieldstatus}';
        alert(check1);
        }

Any idea why this wierd behaviour?
