JavaScript global event mechanism

Question

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

Answer 1

sophisticated error handling

If your error handling is very sophisticated and therefore might throw an error itself, it is useful to add a flag indicating if you are already in "errorHandling-Mode". Like so:

var appIsHandlingError = false;

window.onerror = function() {
    if (!appIsHandlingError) {
        appIsHandlingError = true;
        handleError();
    }
};

function handleError() {
    // graceful error handling
    // if successful: appIsHandlingError = false;
}

Otherwise you could find yourself in an infinite loop.
