3.7 nullThe JavaScript keyword null is a special value that indicates no value. null is usually considered to be a special value of object type -- a value that represents no object. null is a unique value, distinct from all other values. When a variable holds the value null, you know that it does not contain a valid object, array, number, string, or boolean value.[5] C and C++ programmers should note that null in JavaScript is not the same as 0, as it is in those languages. In certain circumstances null is converted to 0, but the two are not equivalent. |

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.
