Javascript Catch Syntaxerror
The SyntaxError object represents an error when trying to interpret syntactically invalid code. Description A SyntaxError is thrown when the JavaScript engine encounters tokens or token order that does not conform to the syntax of the language when parsing code. Syntax new SyntaxError([message[, fileName[, lineNumber]]]) Parameters message Optional. Human-readable description of the error fileName Optional. The name of the file containing the code that caused the exception lineNumber Optional. The line number of the code that caused the exception Properties SyntaxError.prototype Allows the addition of properties to a SyntaxError object. Methods The global SyntaxError contains no methods of its own, however, it does inherit some methods through the prototype chain. SyntaxError instances Properties SyntaxError.prototype.constructor Specifies the function that created an instance's prototype. SyntaxError.prototype.message Error message. Although ECMA-262 specifies that SyntaxError should provide its own message property, in SpiderMonkey, it inherits Error.prototype.message. SyntaxError.pr

Error catching in code is usually limited to the latter two types. It would be nice if you could handle your own logic errors at runtime, but syntax error on sadly, there is no such code construct yet. As for syntax errors, an interpreted language like JavaScript won't catch those until the script is loaded into and read by the browser. While you normally can't catch syntax errors, as we'll see shortly, there are times that you can. Today's article will discuss the syntax error, along with two other error types, while the next installment will cover the remaining three. The Six JavaScript Error Types The JavaScript 1.5 specification defines six primary error types, as follows: EvalError: Raised when the eval() functions is used in an incorrect manner. RangeError: Raised when a numeric variable exceeds its allowed range. ReferenceError: Raised when an invalid reference is used. SyntaxError: Raised when a syntax error occurs while parsing JavaScript code. TypeError: Raised when the type of a variable is not as expected. URIError: Raised when the encodeURI() or decodeURI() functions are used in an incorrect manner. The Error.name Property The benefit of having all the different error types is that you can pinpoint more accurately what kind of error you're dealing with. This is done using the Error.name property because JavaScript's loose typing doesn't support specifying which type you want to catch as you would i
