When I get item from localStorage in Chrome, then I get a null. When I do the same in IE10, then I get an error.

Code:

var item = localStorage.getItem('item'); // localStorage 'item' is undefined

How to get a 'null' item value from localStorage in IE10, if the item is undefined?

Update:

A rough translation of IE10 console error from my native language:

Cannot get property "getItem" of reference, that is undefined or "NULL".

Error message was added in description. – pepeevich Apr 05 '16 at 12:22
Are you running on the file protocol and not http? – epascarello Apr 05 '16 at 12:24
Yes, I run a page from local path. – pepeevich Apr 05 '16 at 12:25
@pepeevich always mention that you're running a page using `file:///`, there are a lot of things that work differently in that mode – Ruan Mendes Apr 05 '16 at 12:30
@JuanMendes, he may not know that ;) At least me mentioned the _error_ so that one could make out things... – Rayon Apr 05 '16 at 12:31
Juan Mendes, epascarello, thank you, I really dk it :) – pepeevich Apr 05 '16 at 12:37
