How to log client side errors – Or: Log JavaScript exceptions on to OpenLog

I have written about the [tag]open source[/tag] project Open Log earlier in this post. It’s a mature well designed logging framework to be used by [tag]lotus notes[/tag] developers on all more complex sites.

[tag]Web[/tag] developers are used to log what’s happening at the server, what leaves the server and occasianly what’s sent to the server. But we are not very used to [tag]log[/tag] what’s happening at the web client side. Yes, of course, we do error traping and tries to move the user along when exceptions occur, but we aren’t too good on tracking them.

Matt White over at 11TMR is showing a cool tip on how to use a simple [tag]Ajax[/tag] in [tag]JavaScript[/tag] call to the server to log an error into the [tag]OpenLog[tag] database. Very cool, very useful. I suggest you leave my blog to go and read his article on this subject: 11TMR | Logging JavaScript Errors to OpenLog
