How to check isset in javascript.
I have used in the following way.
var sessionvalue = document.getElementById('sessionvalue').value;
if(Here I have to check if isset the sessionvalue or not){
if(sessionvalue == "" || sessionvalue == null)
{
document.getElementById('sessionvalue').style.borderColor="red";
return false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('sessionvalue').style.borderColor="#ccc";
}
}
When javascript variables are not declared and you try to call them, they return undefined, so you can do:
if (typeof sessionvalue == "undefined" || sessionvalue == null)
You can just do:
if(sessionvalue)
The above will automatically check for undefined, null (And NaN ,false,"")
You can even make it a global function if you need it like you're used to in php.
function isset(_var){
return !!_var; // converting to boolean.
}
if(typeof(data.length) != 'undefined')
{
// do something
}
if(empty(data))
{
// do something
}
if(typeof(data) == 'undefined' || data === null)
{
//do something
}
you can just do if(sessionvalue) that's it you don't need anything else and remember you can compare apples with cars in javascript, you can check if value is null or undefined with if(sessionvalue) or if(!sessionvalue), your code will be :
document.getElementById('sessionvalue').style.borderColor= sessionvalue ? "red" : "#CCC";
Try Code as below
var sessionvalue=document.getElementById('sessionvalue').value;
if(typeof sessionvalue != 'undefined'){
if(sessionvalue=="" || sessionvalue == null)
{
document.getElementById('sessionvalue').style.borderColor="red";
return false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('sessionvalue').style.borderColor="#ccc";
}
}
