Javascript/jQuery if statement not working

I'm currently using the backstretch.js script for full screen background images, I've got it working but I would like to add an if statement to check if an image is set, which are set via custom post types display that image, if not, the default image should be link to image

This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work and need help fixing it:

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.backstretch.js"></script>
    <script>
      var link = $.backstretch("<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'upload_image', true); ?>")
      var altLink = '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/not-set-default.jpg'
        if (x == link) {
             document.write(link)
        } else {
             document.write(altLink)
        }

    </script>
