How to catch NetworkError in JavaScript?

Question

In Chrome\'s JavaScript console, if I run this:

var that = new XMLHttpRequest();
that.open(\'GET\', \'http://this_is_a_bad_url.com\', false);
that.send();

I think what you meant was:

if(exception.name == 'NetworkError'){
   console.log('There was a network error.');
}

I don't believe the Error is an instance of NetworkError, but thrown in this manner:

throw {
   name: 'NetworkError',
   message: 'A network error occurred.'
   // etc...
}
