Furthermore, there should be a way for me to declare what the Error name exception field would return, ideally via a shorthand. For DOMException the name exception field has to return the constant the code exception field returns, as a string. So e.g. for a NAMESPACE_ERR the name exception field would return "NAMESPACE_ERR". 41802 1 cam 2010-10-28 05:06:23 +0000 Shouldn't the name field be DOMException, and the message have something mentioning NAMESPACE_ERR? That would be more consistent with native errors. 41805 2 annevk 2010-10-28 09:19:54 +0000 Oh, if that is more consistent, yes. 47363 3 cam 2011-04-12 02:59:41 +0000 Exceptions now do inherit from Error, and the value of the name property is defined to be the same as the identifier of the exception.
