hi,
i have a problem with a script which depends on a function x() which may be defined or not, depending on the page.
normally i (at least i think it worked) tried to find out if x is available by checking
if (x == "undefined")
//do something other, maybe calling function y but not x
else
//do something with x, e.g. call it
this does not work though (although i am quite sure it worked at one time). i always get a browser error "x is not defined"
any suggestions to make this happen?
try/catch will not work as browsers like netscape 4.x need to be working and i think try/catch cannot even catch these errors...
thanks a lot
chris
