I can't test it right now but I would love to know. Is it true?

Seems to be so, see Exceptional behavior of document.all
Although document.all is also falsy and loosely equal to undefined, it is not undefined. The case of document.all having type "undefined" is classified in the web standards as a "willful violation" of the original ECMAScript standard for web compatibility.
typeof x === "undefined"
is true.
Then the bastard tries to willingly access x
to equate it to undefined
, but that can't work since x
is undefined and yields a ReferenceError
(rendering the third expression moot).
The monks answers of document.all is not applicable since document.all
is a live set of data which can be nothing or everything.
Who even introduced document.all
? I bet it was microsoft...
