Name
SyntaxError: thrown to signal a syntax error — ECMAScript v3: Object → Error → SyntaxError
Constructor
new SyntaxError( )
new SyntaxError(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 SyntaxError object.
Returns
A newly constructed SyntaxError object. If the
message argument is specified, the
Error object uses it as the value of its message property; otherwise, it uses an
implementation-defined default string as the value of that
property. When the SyntaxError(
) 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.messagefor details.-
name A string that specifies the type of the exception. All SyntaxError objects inherit the value “SyntaxError” for this property.
Description
An instance of the SyntaxError class is thrown to signal a
syntax error in JavaScript code. The eval(
) method, the Function(
) constructor, and the RegExp(
) constructor may all throw exceptions of this type. See
Error for details about throwing
and catching exceptions.
