// GET /example.cgi?a=1;b=3;b=5;z=;z;z
val = incomingExists("a",DataGet);
// val = true
val = incomingExists("b",DataGet);
// val = true
val = incomingExists("c",DataGet);
// val = false
val = incomingExists("z",DataGet);
// val = true

This is useful for avoiding Exceptions when using WebCommon.incomingData (3kaya) or WebCommon.incomingValue (3kaya) , or for checking if a checkbox has been selected.
