So you want `a` undefined iff `b` is falsy. I'm not sure I'd need that but perhaps in that case: var a = b && c || a;
Reads easier grouped (to me). var a = (b && c) || a; -- Garrett _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
