I have this object/array thing:

var states = {};

states["CA"] = new State("CA", "California");
states["AR"] = new State("AR", "Arizona");
....

How can I check if states["AL"] has been set or not? Will the following work (in all browsers)?

if (states["AL"] == undefined)
   alert("Invalid state");

    Recommended:

    if (typeof states["AL"] == 'undefined')
        alert("Invalid state");
    

    Litteral undefined is possible and will work most of the time, but won’t in some browser (IE mac, maybe others).
