prototype
Allows the addition of properties to a URIError object.

Methods

For methods inherited by URIError instances, see Methods of URIError instances.

The global URIError contains no methods of its own, however, it does inherit some methods through the prototype chain.

Methods inherited from Function.prototype
apply, call, toSource, toString, valueOf

Methods inherited from Object.prototype
__defineGetter__, __defineSetter__, hasOwnProperty, isPrototypeOf, __lookupGetter__, __lookupSetter__, __noSuchMethod__, propertyIsEnumerable, unwatch, watch

URIError instances

All URIError instances inherit from URIError.prototype. You can use the prototype to add properties or methods to all instances.

Properties

constructor
Specifies the function that created an instance's prototype.
name
Error name.
Note: Although ECMA-262 specifies that URIError should provide its own message property, in SpiderMonkey, it inherits Error.prototype.message.

Properties inherited from Error.prototype
fileName, lineNumber, message, name, number, stack

Methods

Although the URIError prototype object does not contain any methods of its own, URIError instances do inherit some methods through the prototype chain.

Methods inherited from Error.prototype
toSource, toString

Methods inherited from Object.prototype
__defineGetter__, __defineSetter__, hasOwnProperty, isPrototypeOf, __lookupGetter__, __lookupSetter__, __noSuchMethod__, propertyIsEnumerable, unwatch, valueOf, watch
