and again a similar example, this time not checking for an exception,
just null. in web mode only...
String searchDept = Cookies.getCookie("signoff department");
if (searchDept == null || searchDept.equals("All")) {
Window.alert("caught!");
}
Please feel free to try it and confirm this because its driving me
mad.
And yes i did clear my cookies befor and i still got it. I think, and
i could be wrong that this is something to do with the difference
between null and "undefined" in JS. but im no JS programmer.
