[Cosmo-dev] JS error-handling in the UI

[Bobby Rullo]

Brian,

If I told you that all errors in your favorite app should not show  
user-friendly error messages, but instead just didn't do anything at  
all when there was an error, because it was more convenient to one of  
the developers  you'd be pissed right?

Or what if you were a developer and developed a way to make it easy  
for users to report errors to you and someone took that away because  
it was inconvenient to them, you'd be pissed right?

The reason I am asking him again what is needed is so that something  
can be provided that works for everyone.

Matthew,

Jared suggested re-throwing the exception after displaying the dialog  
box...how would that work for you?
