How to get error message on a HTML5 Application Cache Error event?

During the caching of my offline webapp I receive a totally valid error which is displayed in the browser console like this:

Application Cache Error event: Manifest changed during update, scheduling retry

I can add a Listener to be informed that an error has occured.

window.applicationCache.addEventListener('error', function(e){
  //handle error here
}, false);

How can I get the error detail, in this case "Manifest changed during update, scheduling retry"?

Solution

  • You must use window.onerror. The callback can have three parameters:

    Error message (string)
Url where error was raised (string)
Line number where error was raised (number)
