Script error in IE is very frustrating as it comes frequently and with some error and it doesn't get closed and pops up again and again. I got the same error while using the google map and unable to pan the map, either zoom in or zoom out. Got the error like: (see screen shot).
While exploring the issue i got that the issue was coming from onion.js file which is a javascript library file. This file gets included automatically when you use Google Map API file (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/v=3&sensor=false).
I got the exact problem why we usually get the script error in onion.js. Onion.js is a javascript file and there is a java script function called JSON.pasre() used in that particular file and some of IE browsers(Ex- IE7) don't support the JSON.parse method and it shows a script error.
To reproduce this issue you have to check/uncheck some of the functionalities in Internet option.
- Open IE, goto settings and click on Internet Options.
- Goto Advanced tab and see Browsing.
- Uncheck 'Disable script debugging(Internet Explorer)'.
- Uncheck 'Disable script debugging (Other)'.
- Check 'Display a notification about every script error.'
Inorder to resolve the issue i added below java script code in the same page where the Google map API is being called and it worked.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onerror = function() {
return true;
};
</script>
Defining the onerror event with a function that returns a value of true at the very top of your page suppresses all scripting errors on the page .
Important Notes:
Be careful while using this event, since it only suppresses errors, but doesn't fix them. Whenever you test codes in your browser, make sure to first turn off the error suppressor.
