empty function var’s like php?

How can i do this in a JS function:
PHP:

[code=php]
function myfunk ($var1 = ‘value’) {
}
[/code]

in the function above if myfunk() is called without passing a value the $var1 gets = to “value”… perfect

how do i do that in JS?
i need my JS function to handle being run with and without a passing variable?

i know it can be done, but im not searching the right words in google cause i cant find it

Thanks

</i>function myfunk (v) {
if(!v) {
v = 'value';
}
}

v = v || "default";
}And always be wary with optional parameters, make sure it doesn't break when they are left out.
