Prevent form from submitting when window.onerror

**daniboi81** · 11-13-2006 12:53 PM

I created a generic function on the <head> level of my page to capture any errors that a user may receive. Whe I am unsure of is how would I cancel the form.submit method from submitting data if an error is captured from the window.onerror event. Below is my code for the event.

window.onerror = function handleError(sMessage, sUrl, sLine){
alert("An error has occured with this application. Please take a screen shot of\nthis error and email to the help desk\n\n"
+ "Description: " + sMessage + "\n\nURL: " + sUrl + "\n\nLine Number: " + sLine);
return true;
}

part of my form's code

<form
action="https://locationofdatabase" method="POST" name="qdbform"
onSubmit="return validateForm(this);" onReset="return resetForm(this);">

Something like:

Code:

window.onerror = function handleError(sMessage, sUrl, sLine){
    alert("An error has occured with this application. Please take a screen shot of\nthis error and email to the help desk\n\n" + "Description: " + sMessage + "\n\nURL: " + sUrl + "\n\nLine Number: " + sLine);
    document.forms[0].action = ''
    return true;
}
