How do I stop javascript execution?

[Ralphz]

Hi

How do I stop JavaScript execution when I encounter an error?

Is there something similar to PHP's exit or die function?

Thanks
Ralph

We had that exact same question only a few days ago, and a couple of good
answers to it.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

Thanks for response.

I was actually trying to find something on the newsgroup and google. All
I have found is was something about using break or return. Return does
not work for me because i don't want to check if all the functions
return false. especially if i want to stop execution in function deep
down in call stack. Break on the other hand looks weird :)

Thanks anyway

You missed the part about exceptions.

alert("error message") works well for me.
For debugging.
