on window error refresh window script 1

[codeone]

wondering how to tell if the window throws up an error and if so it would then refresh the page or at least attempt to...

I tried a couple of ways I thought I knew and none of them worked for me, I am coding strictly for IE5 and better, so crossbrowser is not a concern... all help is appreciated

thanks

co

window.onerror = err;

function err(msg) {
   alert("There has been an error:\n\n"+msg);
   window.location.reload(true);
}

The window.onerror is a good solution. I was toying with this one, but it's nowhere near as neat:

<script type="text/javascript">
try {
   // all your js code goes here
}
catch (err) {
   alert(err);
}
</script>

But I think I'd stickl with what you have already ;o)

yeah that code minus the alert is perfect for what I needed, had a dynamic menu throwing up errors if the users mouse was sitting over top of the buttons which called them to be visible, the problem is the object was not present because it wasnt threw loading...so now if this is to occur the page auto reloads and walla no error at all.

perfect!
