Damn I hate js in the browser. I fixed a bug, but I don't understand what caused it or how my fix works.

I have 2 semantically identical elements that do the same thing, one of them crashes, while the other doesn't. Screw it!

Wonderful world of JS. Where a string can be a number and nobody knows when or how.

@ostream Yeah, but that does not solve the problems.

!!['test']

true

['test'] == true

false

!!null; // -> false

null == false; // -> false

typeof []; // -> 'object'

typeof null; // -> 'object'

// however

null instanceof Object; // false

(There is a whole git with these cases : https://github.com/denysdovhan/...)

I prefer to stick with strongly typed variables and not have to check every time if the type changed somehow in the process.

It's definitely an object mutated somewhere
