the event is triggered. version added: 1.4.3.error( [eventData ], handler ) eventData Type: Anything An object containing data that will be passed to the event handler. handler Type: Function( Event eventObject ) A function to execute each time the event is triggered. This method is a shortcut for .on( "error", handler javascript error message ). As of jQuery 1.8, the .error() method is deprecated. Use .on( "error", handler ) to attach event handlers to the error event instead. The error event is sent to elements, such as images, that are referenced by a document and loaded by the browser. It is called if the element was not loaded correctly. For example, consider a page with a simple image element: 1 <img alt="Book" id="book"> The event handler can be bound to the image: 1 2 3 4 5 $( "#book" ) .error(function() { alert( "Handler for .error() called." ) }) .attr( "src", "missing.png" ); If the image cannot be loaded (for example, because it is not present at the supplied URL), the alert is displayed: Handler for .error() called. The event handler must be attached before the browser fires the error event, wh

Alert() //alert() shows values in https://api.jquery.com/error/ a popup window alert("js is working"); Alert can be used to see if your code is actually be executed because if there are critical syntax errors in your JavaScript it won't execute at all. Can also be used to see if a certain code block or segment is being reached. Console.log() //console.log() shows values in the firebug console window var x = ... etc console.log(x); Console.log() can be very useful for showing values executed in loops and for catching events. https://www.sitepoint.com/jquery-error-management/ More on this later in the post. The full range of options for logging can be seen in the Firebug Console API wiki page. Important: make sure you enclose your firebug commands otherwise your jQuery code will only work when the console is open. Try/Catch //try catch example 1 try { $("#user").focus(); } catch(err){ return false; } //try catch example 2 try { var tmp = doSomething(); if (tmp == something.errorCondition) throw new Error("Error condition in X"); } catch(err) { //handle ((err && err.message) || err.toString()) } //try catch example 3 try { // code that may cause an error } catch (e) { // deal with error (or not) } // code that runs whether or not error occurred Override Errors for display in Firebug You can also override jQuery.error for display in Firebug like so: jQuery.error = console.error; jQuery Stop Error Display If you use jQuery event handlers, you can use a combination of window.onerror and wrapping the jQuery event handler code and on ready function with an error handling function. window.onerror: catches all errors in IE (and most errors in Firefox), but does nothing in Safari and Opera. jQuery event handlers: catches jQuery event errors in all browsers. jQuery ready function: catches initialisation errors in all browsers. Types of jQuery Errors (common errors) A common error is when AJAX returns no data. This can be handled by adding error messages, see the following example o

Unfortunately errors in their jQuery(document).ready blocks prevent mine from executing. Take the following simple sample: Shouldn't the second ready block execute regardless of what happened in the error handling javascript previous? Is there a "safe" way to run jQuery(document).ready that will run even in the case of previous errors? EDIT: I have no control/visibility over the error-prone blocks as they're written by other authors and mixed in arbitrarily. javascript jquery share|improve this question edited Dec 11 '09 at 20:22 asked Dec 11 '09 at 20:02 3hough 153211 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 13 down vote accepted I haven't tried this code, but it should work (at least, the idea should anyway). Make sure you include it AFTER jquery, but BEFORE any potentially buggy scripts. (Not necessary, see comments.) var oldReady = jQuery.ready; jQuery.ready = function(){ try{ return oldReady.apply(this, arguments); }catch(e){ // handle e .... } }; share|improve this answer edited Apr 27 '12 at 13:07 answered Dec 11 '09 at 20:11 jvenema 30.5k44489 This seems to work quite well, regardless of whether it goes before or after the potentially buggy scripts. I think what I'll do is move the contents of my ready block (alert("Hello!") in the sample) to just after the catch block. That way my ready block can "append" itself to the end of the previous ready blocks. –3hough Dec 11 '09 at 20:3
when encountering unexpected conditions is where it really gets challenging. The problematic situations that a program can encounter fall into two categories: Programmer mistakes and genuine problems. If someone forgets to pass a required argument to a function, that is an example of the first kind of problem. On the other hand, if a program asks the user to enter a name and it gets back an empty string, that is something the programmer can not prevent. In general, one deals with programmer errors by finding and fixing them, and with genuine errors by having the code check for them and perform some suitable action to remedy them (for example, asking for the name again), or at least fail in a well-defined and clean way. 4.1. Bugs versus exceptions¶ It is important to decide into which of these categories a certain problem falls. For example, consider our old power function: function power(base, exponent) { var result = 1; for (var count = 0; count < exponent; count++) result *= base; return result; } When some geek tries to call power("Rabbit", 4), that is quite obviously a programmer error, but how about power(9, 0.5)? The function can not handle fractional exponents, but, mathematically speaking, raising a number to the halfth power is perfectly reasonable (Math.pow can handle it). In situations where it is not entirely clear what kind of input a function accepts, it is often a good idea to explicitly state the kind of arguments that are acceptable in a comment. If a function encounters a problem that it can not solve itself, what should it do? In Data structures: Objects and Arrays we wrote the function between: function between(string, start, end) { var startAt = string.indexOf(start) + start.length; var endAt = string.indexOf(end, startAt); return string.slice(startAt, endAt); } If the given start and end do not occur in the string, indexOf will return -1 and this version of between will return a lot of nonsense: between("Your mother!", "{-", "-}") returns "our mother". When the program is running, and the function is called like that, the code that called it will get a string value, as it expected, and happily continue doing something with it. But the value is wrong, so whatever it ends up doing with it will also be wrong. And if you are unlucky, this wrongness only causes a problem after having passed through twenty other functions. In cases like that, it is extremely hard to find out where the problem started. In some cases, you will be so unconcerned about these problems that you don't mind
