This is slightly off topic, but if anybody can solve this, it'll be this mailing list. The basic question is: Is there a way to catch an error thrown in an external js library so that I can continue parsing the remaining javascript on the page?
The more detailed version is this: I'm using DotNetNuke (DNN) for my website. A module that I'm using include Scriptaculous, DotNetNuke uses a mixture of jQuery and MS AJAX. To avoid namespace pollution, the DNN folk have used the jQuery prefix for jQuery functions and the $ shortcut for MS AJAX (actually, I think this is the only way you can do this). The third party module uses $ to reference Scriptaculous. I think we all know where this is going: the namespace pollution of $ causes an error to be thrown very early on, leaving parts of my page unstyled (cornerz), dates unformatted, etc, etc, etc. The good news - for me - is this only happens when an admin is logged in. My thought would be to catch the errors and continue parsing *my *portion of the page. Thanks in advance, Dave
