In this case you can use a     undefined comparison  if val     undefined   This works because val always exists  it s a function argument    If you wanted to test an arbitrary variable that is not an argument  i e  might not be defined at all  you d have to use if typeof val      undefined   to avoid an exception in case val didn t exist

JQuery library was developed specifically to simplify and to unify certain JavaScript functionality   However if you need to check a variable against undefined value  there is no need to invent any special method  since JavaScript has a typeof operator  which is simple  fast and cross-platform   if  typeof value      undefined                    It returns a string indicating the type of the variable or other unevaluated operand  The main advantage of this method  compared to if  value     undefined           is that typeof will never raise an exception in case if variable value does not exist

If you have names of the element and not id we can achieve the undefined check on all text elements  for example  as below and fill them with a default value say 0 0   var aFieldsCannotBeNull   ast chkacc bwr   ast savacc bwr     jQuery each aFieldsCannotBeNull function nShowIndex sShowKey       var   oField   jQuery  input name    sShowKey           if   oField val   trim   length     0            oField val  0 0

Note that typeof always returns a string  and doesn t generate an error if the variable doesn t exist at all   function A val     if typeof val        undefined          do this   else      do this
