未定义就是未定义。所以你可以这样做:

if (obj.field === undefined) /* ... */

除了公共成员外，还可以使用闭包创建具有私有(在“类”定义之外不可访问)静态成员和非静态成员的“类”。

注意，下面的代码中有两种类型的公共成员。特定于实例的(在构造函数中定义)，可以访问私有实例成员，共享成员(在原型对象中定义)只能访问私有静态成员。

var MyClass = (function () {
    // private static
    var nextId = 1;

    // constructor
    var cls = function () {
        // private
        var id = nextId++;
        var name = 'Unknown';

        // public (this instance only)
        this.get_id = function () { return id; };

        this.get_name = function () { return name; };
        this.set_name = function (value) {
            if (typeof value != 'string')
                throw 'Name must be a string';
            if (value.length < 2 || value.length > 20)
                throw 'Name must be 2-20 characters long.';
            name = value;
        };
    };

    // public static
    cls.get_nextId = function () {
        return nextId;
    };

    // public (shared across instances)
    cls.prototype = {
        announce: function () {
            alert('Hi there! My id is ' + this.get_id() + ' and my name is "' + this.get_name() + '"!\r\n' +
                  'The next fellow\'s id will be ' + MyClass.get_nextId() + '!');
        }
    };

    return cls;
})();

测试这段代码:

var mc1 = new MyClass();
mc1.set_name('Bob');

var mc2 = new MyClass();
mc2.set_name('Anne');

mc1.announce();
mc2.announce();

如果您有Firebug，您会发现除了在定义私有成员的闭包中设置断点之外，没有其他方法可以访问私有成员。

当定义需要严格验证值和完全控制状态更改的类时，这种模式非常有用。

要扩展这个类，你可以把MyClass.call(this);在扩展类的构造函数的顶部。您还需要复制MyClass。prototype对象(不要重用它，因为你也会改变MyClass的成员。

如果要替换announce方法，则需要调用MyClass。MyClass.prototype.announce.call(this);

与。

它很少被使用，坦率地说，很少有用……但是，在有限的情况下，它确实有它的用途。

例如:对象字面量对于快速在新对象上设置属性非常方便。但是，如果需要更改现有对象的一半属性，该怎么办呢?

var user = 
{
   fname: 'Rocket', 
   mname: 'Aloysus',
   lname: 'Squirrel', 
   city: 'Fresno', 
   state: 'California'
};

// ...

with (user)
{
   mname = 'J';
   city = 'Frostbite Falls';
   state = 'Minnesota';
}

Alan Storm指出，这可能有点危险:如果用作上下文的对象没有被赋值的属性之一，它将在外部作用域被解析，可能会创建或覆盖一个全局变量。如果你习惯了用默认值或空值未定义的对象编写代码，这是特别危险的:

var user = 
{
   fname: "John",
// mname definition skipped - no middle name
   lname: "Doe"
};

with (user)
{
   mname = "Q"; // creates / modifies global variable "mname"
}

因此，避免使用with语句进行这种赋值可能是一个好主意。

请参见:JavaScript的“with”语句是否有合法用途?

Javascript中的所有对象都实现为哈希表，因此它们的属性可以通过索引器访问，反之亦然。此外，你可以使用for/in操作符枚举所有属性:

var x = {a: 0};
x["a"]; //returns 0

x["b"] = 1;
x.b; //returns 1

for (p in x) document.write(p+";"); //writes "a;b;"

==运算符有一个非常特殊的属性，它创建了这个令人不安的等式(是的，我知道在其他动态语言中，如Perl，这种行为是预期的，但JavaScript通常不会尝试在比较中聪明):

>>> 1 == true
true
>>> 0 == false
true
>>> 2 == true
false

下面是一些有趣的事情:

Comparing NaN with anything (even NaN) is always false, that includes ==, < and >. NaN Stands for Not a Number but if you ask for the type it actually returns a number. Array.sort can take a comparator function and is called by a quicksort-like driver (depends on implementation). Regular expression "constants" can maintain state, like the last thing they matched. Some versions of JavaScript allow you to access $0, $1, $2 members on a regex. null is unlike anything else. It is neither an object, a boolean, a number, a string, nor undefined. It's a bit like an "alternate" undefined. (Note: typeof null == "object") In the outermost context, this yields the otherwise unnameable [Global] object. Declaring a variable with var, instead of just relying on automatic declaration of the variable gives the runtime a real chance of optimizing access to that variable The with construct will destroy such optimzations Variable names can contain Unicode characters. JavaScript regular expressions are not actually regular. They are based on Perl's regexs, and it is possible to construct expressions with lookaheads that take a very, very long time to evaluate. Blocks can be labeled and used as the targets of break. Loops can be labeled and used as the target of continue. Arrays are not sparse. Setting the 1000th element of an otherwise empty array should fill it with undefined. (depends on implementation) if (new Boolean(false)) {...} will execute the {...} block Javascript's regular expression engine's are implementation specific: e.g. it is possible to write "non-portable" regular expressions.
