How do I catch exceptions in JavaScript ?

[MD]

Dear all,<br>

<br>

Is there a way of catching javascript errors or testing that a command is valid before trying to execute it? Can't find much info on this area.<br>

<br>

I'm trying to execute the command..<br>

<br>

window.parent.opener.location.href= ..blah blah..<br>

<br>

Which is valid sometimes but not at others depending upon the location it is trying to open. Is there some sort of try/catch command which could allow me to do something else if the command is not able to be executed, or is not valid.<br>

<br>

Thanks,<br>

Mike<br>

I think your main problem is that NS supports the window.location.href procedure; but M$ does not; in M$IE I beleive you have to use something like ***.location =

If you want to cancel the error messages from apearing then plce the fallowing code somewhere on your page:<br>
<br>
&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--<br>
<br>
function stoperror() {<br>
return true;<br>
}<br>
window.onerror = stoperror<br>
<br>
//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br>
<br>
Where you place the code depends on wether or not you are using frames or pop-up windows. If this is the case, then just put the code in whatever frame or window is causing the problem.
