    Modifying your original script:

function init()
{
  if (!checkData()) // checking to see if the data is present
  {
    return false ; // will end only if checkData() is false
  }
  // otherwise, it will continue on with the other stuff...
}

function checkData()
{
  if (the data is not there)
  {
    // hey, you have no data!
    return false ;
  }
  return true ;
}
