Specify a value, but only if it does contain one....

[jshowe]

Hi all!

I am in need of a little help. I have this variable. Lets say "newprice".

I would like newprice = 0 but only if newprice doesn't contain any other value(0-100000000000000 - ANYTHING).

Any ideas? Thanks.

if (!newprice) newprice = 0

For some reason that doesn't seem to be doing it. Will it still return false if newprice doesn't exist?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var newprice;
if(!newprice) newprice = 'foo'
alert(newprice)
// -->
</script>

or

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (!window.newprice) window.newprice = 'foo'
alert(window.newprice)
// -->
</script>

Thank you both! That did the trick.
