Whenever there is a javascript error on the page, shown in the status bar of the IE browser, the line number reported to contain the error, does not match with the line number that actually contains the error. I am doing a right click>view source to find the line number reported. But that line does not contain the error. The error, I assume, is in some other line. What could be the reason for the erroneous line numbers being reported. Please Help. javascript numbers line share|improve this question asked Jan 6 '10 at 9:03 The Machine 5464926 I can only use IE to test my application. Hence firebug is not going to be of much help. Also, i used to get the correct line numbers say about a month ago.I dont know how all of a sudden there is this frustrating discrepancy. –The Machine Jan 6 '10 at 9:13 1 In addition to the great suggestions about using the IE dev tool in IE > 8, you can also get Firebug Lite, which works in any browser, so Firebug can actually be of help :) –Kato Feb 1 '12 at 23:04 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote As noted in other answers, IE is bad at reporting line numbers for errors. However, the built-in debugger (press F12) in IE8 and later is much more helpful, so

I am http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2011837/javascript-error-line-numbers using the F12 Development tool debugger in IE 9. Is there a way I can display the line numbers and file source for each console statement, the same way that Firebug displays this info? I may have overlooked something basic, but I haven't yet found a way to do this..Thanks! javascript console internet-explorer-9 ie-developer-tools share|improve this question asked Jan 8 '13 at 18:44 JasonBK 2871623 1 no answers...is it possible IE has a debugger http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14221898/show-line-numbers-for-console-statements-in-ie-9-debugger that doesn't give you line numbers of console statements? Is someone kidding me? –JasonBK Apr 9 '13 at 19:56 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted The only way to get line numbers is to define a window.onerror method: window.onerror = function (message, url, lineNo) { console.log('Error: ' + message + '\n' + 'Line Number: ' + lineNo); return true; } console.log(window); console.log(1=2); But even then, IE breaks on the error, so it's rather useless. share|improve this answer answered Aug 26 '13 at 23:55 community wiki Paul Sweatte add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

The JavaScript Error Handling: Why You Need it article outlined some of the major reasons why you need to consider error handling sooner rather than later in a Web application's development cycle. Everyone knows that error handling is important, but to what end? javascript error line In fact, error handling plays many roles, from reassuring the end-users, to helping identify trouble spots in an application, to siphoning off potential security holes in the code. In this installment on error handling in JavaScript, we'll be taking a look at how to code your exception handling in JavaScript in a way that takes browser discrepancies into account. Anatomy of the Try/Catch Block In all browsers, the mechanism of choice for trapping errors is the Try/Catch block. As the name suggest, the Try/Catch Block is made up of two sections. The try {} encloses code in which to trap exceptions; the catch {} section contains code to deal with the error: try { eval("var " + varName + "=" document.inputForm.txtVal); } catch (e) { console.log("An exception occurred in the script."); } It all seems so easy. However, there is a glitch in the above code; Internet Explorer doesn't recognize the console object. The alternative of using the fully supported alert box is tempting, but don't do it! The whole point of catching errors in the first place is to get rid of those annoying popups that appear every time an error fires. Instead, consider writing error messages to a designated part of the page or, in the case of validation errors, you can display the message right beside th
