Giant Robot

This is a pre-release of a Drupal 5 module which allows you to record JavaScript errors from visitors either to the Drupal log, or (if you're really keen to hear about it!) have immediate notifications sent by email.

On the Paper Fish website, we use jCarousel to display a carousel of similar products. It works really well, but for some Safari users it gave a strange error, which was proving hard to reproduce on our test machines. In order to leverage the users visiting the site in order to test the system more completely, we produced this module.

If a visitor's browser has a JS error, it calls window.onerror(), which we redefine with a function that makes a POST to a Drupal path that will record the error message and some other forensic data, and optionally email you to let you know.

Feedback welcome!
