JavaScript 1.5; JScript 5.5; ECMAScript v3 Inherits from Error
Constructor
new URIError( )new URIError(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 URIError object.
Returns
A newly constructed URIError 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 URIError(
) 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 URIError
objects inherit the value "URIError" for this property.
Description
An instance of the URIError class is thrown by decodeURI(
) and decodeURIComponent( ) if the
specified string contains illegal hexadecimal escapes. It can also be
thrown by encodeURI( ) and
encodeURIComponent( ) if the specified string
contains illegal Unicode surrogate pairs. 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.
