JavaScript Errors

[PaVaN KuMaR]

Hello Everyone,

Not sure whether its the correct forum or not for my scenario.

For finding the existing JS errors on a web page load, we generally
manually check the status bar in Internet Explorer and Error Console
in Firefox browser. But I would like to know if there is a way to
identify/capture these java script errors Programmatically on
different browsers. I believe there should be a way to do this, but
couldn't get any details over the Internet.

Thanks,
Pavan Kumar.

You could try window.onerror on those browsers that support it. Other
than that, try..catch might be an option for runtime errors, but that
won't work for syntax errors.

When Safari 5.1 is released I'll be putting just this into my app. I'll
be sending the info caught by the event to the server side of my app so
I can log the error.
