The documentation explains how to set exception handlers within AJAX. It does not explain that if you don't set one, exceptions will be silently ignored; to figure out why my callbacks were silently doing nothing I had to trace the source. Nor does it explain how to force exceptions to be propagated normally; delaying the exception in a defer() is hardly obvious. > No, seriously, we'll have to agree to disagree on this.

You find the default behavior of silently ignoring all exceptions reasonable? Seriously? Please explain why it should not propagate exceptions normally when no error handlers are set. You havn't given any rational explanation. If you're using exception callbacks, then this has zero impact on you. -- Glenn Maynard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
