JavaScript checking for null vs. undefined and difference between == and ===

Question

1. How do I check a variable if it\'s null or undefined and what is the difference between the null and undefined?<

Answer 1

If your (logical) check is for a negation (!) and you want to capture both JS null and undefined (as different Browsers will give you different results) you would use the less restrictive comparison: e.g.:

var ItemID = Item.get_id();
if (ItemID != null)
{
 //do stuff
}

This will capture both null and undefined
