JavaScript global event mechanism

I would like to catch every undefined function error thrown. Is there a global error handling facility in JavaScript? The use case is catching function calls from flash that are not defined.

Solution

  • Does this help you:

    <script>
window.onerror = function() {
    alert("Error caught");
};

xxx();
</script>

    I'm not sure how it handles Flash errors though...

    Update: it doesn't work in Opera, but I'm hacking Dragonfly right now to see what it gets. Suggestion about hacking Dragonfly came from this question:
