Synopsis
NaNDescription
NaN is global property that refers to the special
numeric not-a-number value. The NaN property is
not enumerated by for/in loops and cannot be
deleted with the delete operator. Note that
NaN is not a constant and can be set to any other
value, something that you should take care not to do.
To determine if a value is not a number, use isNaN(
), since NaN always compares non-equal
to any other value, including itself!

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
