Disable Javascript Errors
This simple script will prevent javascript errors from being displayed in your visitor's browser
<script type="text/javascript">
function noError(){
return true;
}
window.onerror = noError;
</script>
The functionality is very simple: create a function that always returns true, and then whenever an error occurs, call this function (returning true and suppressing the error).
Shamefully, this script is only tested in IE.

To bad i didnt see this sooner, would have saved me headaches in the past. IE seems to trip out over jQuery stuff, so i can't even make it go away most of the time.

thanks a lot!!
Avo said on 08.07.2010. 10:18
is this inserted in the head after the scripts? or simply at the footer just before the body?

This is a bad solution for real applications, information is lost on the errors produced. Undoubtedly the best option is always to use a proper error handling.
try {
...
} Catch (e) {
...
}

Amazing - this has been bugging me for weeks 'cos the error icon looks so unprofessional even if everything else is fixed.
Barry de Rond said on 15.11.2010. 13:14
Like aNieto2k already said, this is bad practice, invest time in correct coding/programming instead of suppressing errors like this.
This is quite the same as; when you got a hole in your pants, just paint your skin dark right under it so nobody sees it.

Quite ashamed that I need this script, in my case the error is a scripting conflict, howeve all scripts were playing nice together regardless of the error so I thought "What the hell..." Thanks for this life-saving bit of code :)

Ok, so for us "non-tech savvy" types..... just what do I do?
Where do I type this?
As I fill out forms and registrations DAILY, this has been a nightmare for me....I can't use my computer to register anyone anymore!

@aNieto2k and @Barry de Rond : Yes sure what you guys said are best practice when coding; but unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world. Nowadays we need to include libraries taken from elsewhere (therefor others implementations), e.g.
In these situations, you NEED this type of "escapes" else your page won't display in some cases; or display after a long time...
