Question

Continuing with topic: jQuery .globalEval() function

I use jQuery.globalEval(varwithJScode);

Now the problem starts when code in varwithJScode contains syntax or other error – the whole script stops.

jsFiddle does not support jQuery.globalEval(), but I used eval() instead to simulate.

Try changing var codeforeval to some wrong javascript code and next command will fail.

Is there a way to avoid other JS code from stopping in case of error and/or is there a way to check syntax before eval?

Tried using this one:

try {
   jQuery.globalEval(jscode);
} catch (e) {
   if (e instanceof SyntaxError) {
      alert('JS error!');
   }
}

Does not work for me!

            try {
                jQuery.globalEval(data.js);
            } catch(e) {
                console.log(e);
            }
