Optional and have default value

[ruca]

Hi,

How can I set a parameter of a function optinal and have a default value?
In VB I do like this:
Function myFunction (Optional ByVal bExist as Boolean = False)

What's the equivalent in JScript?

javascript doesn't require that all the parameters defined are passed in. It
is not compiled, and the interpreter doesn't care. So if there are 5
parameters defined, the caller can pass in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 arguments in.
So in essence, they are all optional as far as the interpreter is concerned.

As far as default values, you would have to check if a particular argument
is null, and if it, manually assign it a value in your function to have the
effect of having a default value.

No direct equivalent. Here is a FAQ on args in JScript. It is not exactly
what you are looking for, but you should be able to adopt to your needs.

By the way, I was talking about client side jscript...
