Ignore javascript syntax errors in a page and continue executing the script

Question

I develop plugins for WordPress. It uses some jquery in the user side (themes) as a jquery plugin. The problem is, when there is an javascript error with other plugins made by other autors, my plugin's javascript fails to execute.

And the worst thing is people consider that there is a serious fault with my plugin even though it works 100% fine with error handling conditional statements. But it is actually due to some other javascript syntax errors of some other WP plugin/theme authors.

Is there a way to continue execute my plugin JS ignoring other JS errors. Or can i have suggestions to handle this problem ??

Answer 1

Try :

window.onerror = function(){    return true; } 

That is if you can include this before the bugged script has been executed.

Answer 2

You should correct the old JavaScript error because it may create many problems, not for right now but for next time.

Put your JavaScript file / code at the top (before JS having error), and call it before JavaScript effected by other JavaScript code.

In case you need handle JavaScript exception at run time, best option is

try { /* run js code */ }      catch (error){ /* resolve the issue or bug */ }
