我使用它作为函数参数，并在函数执行时排除它，这样我就得到了未定义的“真实”。尽管它确实需要您将代码放在函数中。我在阅读jQuery源代码时发现了这一点。

undefined = 2;

(function (undefined) {
   console.log(undefined); // prints out undefined
   // and for comparison:
   if (undeclaredvar === undefined) console.log("it works!")
})()

当然，你可以使用typeof。但无论如何，我的所有代码通常都在一个包含函数中，所以使用这个方法可能会在这里和那里节省一些字节。

由于其他答案对我都没有帮助，我建议这样做。它在Internet Explorer 8中对我有效：

if (typeof variable_name.value === 'undefined') {
    // variable_name is undefined
}

就我个人而言，我总是使用以下方法：

var x;
if( x === undefined) {
    //Do something here
}
else {
   //Do something else here
}

window.undefined属性在所有现代浏览器（JavaScript 1.8.5或更高版本）中都是不可写的。Mozilla文档中：https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/undefined，我看到了这一点：使用typeof（）的一个原因是，如果尚未定义变量，它不会抛出错误。

我更喜欢使用

x === undefined 

因为如果x之前没有声明过，它会失败并在我面前爆炸，而不是默默地通过/失败。这提醒我x未声明。我认为JavaScript中使用的所有变量都应该声明。

// x has not been defined before
if (typeof x === 'undefined') { // Evaluates to true without errors.
   // These statements execute.
}

if (x === undefined) { // Throws a ReferenceError

}
