LSChecker = function() {
  try {
    localStorage.setItem('test', 'test');
    localStorage.removeItem('test');
    return true;
  } catch(e) {
    return false;

}

// Usage :
if(LSChecker()) {
  //... do the stuff
}

This is much better:

LSChecker = function() {
  try {
    typeof window.localStorage;
    return true;
  } catch(e) {
    return false;
  }
}
