Possible Duplicate:
if function does not exist write function – javascript

I have a situation when some function X is being called. After some postbacks this function is no longer declared, but still being called by the code, obviously i get js error saying X is not defined . (call it a bug if you wish) but
It is not under my control to not call it or to change the calling functionality.

What I would like to do is a fail safe that will declare such function if it does not exist. So the logic is:

If function not declared then declare one.

Is that possible in javascript i.e. to declare/register a function dynamically in global scope?

Thanks.

    if (typeof window.functionX === 'undefined') {
        window.functionX = function() {
          // fallback code here
        }
    }
