Your code worked fine in my browser. I can't see anything wrong with what
you've written. It is correct to say "window.onerror = x" not
"window.onerror = x(1, 2, 3)" as you are merely registering the function
that will handle the error, it will take the three parameters that are
normally passed to the standard onerror anyway. If you are not seeing the
correct info or alerts, I would suggest that it is a browser problem.
I tried to do something similar at work recently on IE5 and it didn't work,
even though window.onerror is part of JavaScript 1.2. Didn't work at all.
Tried it at home and IE6 and it works beautifully. If you're running IE6,
then I have no idea why this is not working for you.

Why don't onerror function alert's popup?
