I keep up with debugging this way and I think it’s pretty simple:

window.onerror = function(msg,url,ln){
var o = {msg:msg,url:url,ln:ln};
console.log(“ERROR: ” + JSON.stringify(o));
/* Uncomment to stop error propagation
return true;
*/
}

You are right Rich, use JavaScript and similar frameworks to develop iPhone apps is terrifying. I’m learning Objective-C and Cocoa and I have to admit that is not so difficult as I thought :^)

Nice tips.

IMHO dealing with silently failing javascript errors are almost more trouble than learning Objective C.

It’s unfortunate that wrapping blocks of Javascipt in try/catch is the only way to even get a friggin error message!!!!!
