I.e. return undefined for nonexistent storage keys rather than null. 24752 1 ian 2009-04-15 22:56:10 +0000 The spec already says that Storage.missing should return undefined (see WebIDL). Are you saying you want Storage.getItem('missing') to also return undefined? 24757 2 annevk 2009-04-16 10:09:37 +0000 I would have much preferred that, yes. Seems too late now.
