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
message property 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.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
