window.onerror not working in chrome

I am trying to add an onerror event to my website.

window.onerror = function() {
    alert("an error");
}

But all I receive is:

notThere();
ReferenceError: notThere is not defined

What am I missing?

Browser: Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m

Steps to reproduce:

Solution

  • The window.onerror works in Chrome (see jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/PWSDF/), but apparently not in the console - which makes some sense.
