JS - Undefined error

[jocanning]

In javascript, what is an undefined error? The report is saying one of my images is undefined (it's for a mouseover effect) - the code is pasted below.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
browserName = navigator.appName;
browserVar = parseInt ( navigator.appVersion );
version = "n2";
if ( browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer >= 3 ) version = "n3";
if ( broswerName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer >=4 ) version ="e4";
if ( version == "n3" ¦¦ version == "e4" )
{
blank = new Image(163,34);
blank.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/blank.gif";

Undefined means that the variable which you use inside a function has not been assigned a value to. For example take variable X. If you have the function:

Function= X+1

and you don't assign a variable to X, meaning X is undefined, you will get the undefined error.
