Safari for Ipad not reporting line numbers on Javascript errors

Question

I am using iPad 2 with IOs 5 to develop a web application.

I have enabled the developer console to get logs , but when javascript error occurs it does not include corresponding line number.

Since the web application handles touch and gesture events, I cannot test them on desktop version of the browser!

Any help will be appreciated.

You can add a window level error handler

and have that console log the line number. You'll be getting two console logs per error, but you will have more control over the output.
