[jQuery] Re: Detecting Javascript error in IE and then displaying a more helpful message to the user

You can use plain vanilla Javascript try/catch to catch the errors. That being said, you should probably track down exactly what the errors are, and try to eliminate them. Testing in IE6/7 is important, as there are some errors which do not show up in Firefox (trailing commas are a big one)

Well, the problem was fixed by doing a Reset Internet Explorer Settings which makes me think it's not a problem with our code, but with the browser going wonky itself. I was thinking of using jQuery to detect if there's an error and if the browser IE7/Vista and then displaying an alert statement
