Generically Reference Function Name

[maxhugen]

I'm adding some error (exception) handling to javascript functions, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get the name of the function you're in? eg:

function testError() {
    try {
        ..... 
    } catch(e) {
        var func_name = "testError()";
        alert("myWebApp_name - Javascript Error\n\n" + 
              "Webpage: " + location.pathname.substring(location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) + "\n" +
              "Function: " + func_name + "\n\n" + 
              "Error Name: " + e.name + "\n" + 
              "Error Message: " + e.message);
    }        
}

As you can see, I've had to manually set the function name to the variable 'func_name'. It would be cool if I could refer to the function generically somehow.

Does anyone know if this is possible please?
