undefined array

[OzThor]

in javascript, is there a way to test if an array is undefined????
eg...
for (var x=0; x<10; x++){
if test_array[x] is undefined then x++
document.write(test_array[x])

if anyone can help, thanks... oh and if you can get the syntex right for me
thanks..

for (var x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
if (typeof test_array[x] == 'undefined') {
continue;
}

document.write(test_array[x]);
}

or

for (var x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
if (typeof test_array[x] != 'undefined') {
document.write(test_array[x]);
}
}

If it's undefined, then it isn't an array :)
eg...
for (var x=0; x<10; x++){
if test_array[x] is undefined then x++
document.write(test_array[x])

Ah, you want to know whether the array element is undefined.

for (var i=0;i<10;i++) {
if (typeof test_array[i] != "undefined") {
document.write(test_array[i]);
}
}

Good luck

for (var x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

document.write(test_array[x]);

or

for(var x,y;x<10;x++)if(test_array[x]!=y)document.write(test_array[x])

(y is declared, but undefined)

Using the type-converting comparison - != - means that - null - values
will also be true in - if(test_array[x] != y) - and - null - values are
not undefined. Either a typeof test or the strict (non-type
converting) - !== - comparison are probably the only way to truly
identify undefined array members.

yes, but try:
javascript:x=null;alert(x==undefined)
javascript:var x=0;alert(x==undefined)
javascript:var x=false;alert(x==undefined)

problem is only(?) with "null"...

That is what I said, but - null - and - undefined - are still distinct.
