[Xsltforms-support] Page-initialization crashes are not detected

[Kostis A. <ank...@gm...>]

Hi,

When for some reason the generated-from-XSL javascript-initialization
code of the page fails,
(such as when the definition of the init() function fails)
no message gets displayed to the user.

I really had trouble realising why my users reported "all ok" but
"nothing worked!" on IE.

A more adequate response would be to issue an error mesage.


I would suggest the generated page-code to become something along the
lines drawn above:

<!-- the old script element -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function initImpl() { // The old init() renamed.
try {
.../* XFDefinition genrated by XSL HERE. */
} catch (e) {
 ...
}
<!-- A new script element -->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  // The new init() to be invoked by body.onLoad.
  function init() {
    try {
      initImpl();
    } catch(e) {
      alert("Generated XForms-Init script crashed due to: \n"+e);
    }
</script>
