TypeError: Unable to get property {x} of undefined or null reference (Edge) TypeError: can't access property {x} of {y} (Firefox) TypeError: {y} is undefined, can't access property {x} of it (Firefox) TypeError: {y} is null, can't access property {x} of it (Firefox) Beispiele: TypeError: x is undefined, can't access property "prop" of it TypeError: x is null, can't access property "prop" of it TypeError: can't access property "prop" of undefined TypeError: can't access property "prop" of null
{{jsxref("TypeError")}}.
The Attributzugriff erfolgte über einen {{jsxref("undefined")}} oder {{jsxref("null")}} Wert
// undefined und null sind Fälle auf denen die Methode substring nicht aufgerufen werden kann var foo = undefined; foo.substring(1); // TypeError: x is undefined, can't access property "substring" of it var foo = null; foo.substring(1); // TypeError: x is null, can't access property "substring" of it
Um den null pointer auf undefined
oder null
Werte zu beheben, kann beispielsweise der typeof Operator verwendet werden.
if (typeof foo !== 'undefined') { // Hier wissen wir, dass foo definiert ist }
