Cannot call method 'indexOf' of undefined

js文件中：

var executors_name = $("#executors_name") ;

var executors_name_val = executors_name.val();
if(executors_name_val.indexOf("、") > 0){
executors_name.val(executors_name_val.substring(0,executors_name_val.length-1)) ;

}

报错：在红色一行 Cannot call method 'indexOf' of undefined

原因：<input type="text" name="executors_name"  id="executors_name" />没有这一行，导致executors_name_val 的值为undefined

解决：    var executors_name = $("#executors_name") ;
var executors_name_val = executors_name.val() || ‘’;
if(executors_name_val.indexOf("、") > 0){
executors_name.val(executors_name_val.substring(0,executors_name_val.length-1)) ;

}
