onerror

[NoraL]

I have the following code in my page:<script type="text/javascript">function handleError(message, URI, line) { window.location.replace("JavascriptError.htm?" + message + "," + URI + "," + line); return true;}window.onerror = handleError;</script>When my page encounters a syntax error, it fires the event fine. But when the page has what I consider to be a runtime error, it does not fire in IE 6. (It does seem to be firing in FireFox.)From all the documentation I have read, it says it should fire for all JavaScript errors. And I haven't found anyone else having this same problem.An example of an error that doesn't cause the event is as follows:Java Script ErrorDescription:A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.And then the soure and line number are given.That's one example, but I can cause other JavaScript errors that aren't firing the code in IE 6.Is there something wrong in my code? Or has anyone else noticed this problem?Thanks,Nora

change

window.onerror = handleError;

to

document.onerror = handleError;

I got the same results with document.onerror as I did with window.onerror.

I have never had this problem before...I don't see what could be wrong with it...sorry.

[NoraL]

Thanks anyway.

umm... maybe this?

<script type="text/javascript">function handleError(URL, message, URI, line) {document.location.replace("JavascriptError.htm?" + message + "," + URI + "," + line);return true;}document.onerror = handleError;</script>

This didn't work either. Actually the document.onerror in both cases didn't even get fired for syntax errors when the window.onerror did fire for syntax problems, just not for runtime errors.
