Error Object

The Error object provides error information when an error occurs.

Example

In this example we have written "alert" as "adddlert" to deliberately produce an error.
Return the error name and a description of the error:

try {
    adddlert("Welcome");
}
catch(err) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
    err.name + "<br>" + err.message;
}

Do not use these properties in public web sites. They will not work in all browsers.
