Description Vladimir Riha 2012-12-20 09:20:24 UTC 
Sample code:

if (t1==undefined)
{
alert("t1 is undefined");
}
if (t2===undefined)
{
alert("t2 is undefined");
}


undefined keyword is considered as variable and not recognized by editor (it is not blue but black)

Comment 1 Petr Pisl 2012-12-21 13:09:50 UTC 
Undefined is not a keyword, its a property of global object and primitive value so it shouldn't be blue.

Comment 2 Vladimir Riha 2012-12-21 14:28:41 UTC 
Interesting, I'm sorry I didn't know about it. I thought it is since many editors usually highlight it as a keyword.
Comment 3 Vladimir Riha 2012-12-21 14:35:34 UTC 
So shouldn't the "undefined" be purple as for instance Infinity or NaN?
Comment 4 Vladimir Riha 2013-01-14 12:50:53 UTC 
Reopening because I think undefined should be purple as NaN etc. but not black as any local variable (I don't want to report new issue since this was about distinguishing undefined-although incorrectly assumed to be keyword, in code).
Comment 5 Petr Pisl 2015-05-25 12:36:00 UTC 
Fixed in web-main.
