Constructor
new EvalError( )
new EvalError(message)Arguments
-
message An optional error message that provides details about the exception. If specified, this argument is used as the value for the
messageproperty of the EvalError object.
Returns
A newly constructed EvalError object. If the
message argument is specified, the Error
object will use it as the value of its message
property; otherwise, it will use an implementation-defined default
string as the value of that property. When the EvalError( ) constructor is called as a function, without the
new operator, it behaves just as it does when
called with the new operator.
Properties
-
message An error message that provides details about the exception. This property holds the string passed to the constructor or an implementation-defined default string. See Error.message for details.
-
name A string that specifies the type of the exception. All EvalError objects inherit the value “EvalError” for this property.
Description
An instance of the EvalError class may be thrown when the global
function eval( ) is invoked under any other name.
See eval( ) for an explanation of the restrictions on
how this function may be invoked. See Error for details
about throwing and catching exceptions.
