Opera 12 error - Unhandled DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR

[necolas]

Opera 12's dev tools report an "Unhandled DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR" in jQuery 1.8.0. Doesn't happen in 1.7.2.

Previously discussed here and reproduced in Opera 9.8 - ​http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1513672

Cannot reproduce in Firefox or Chrome.

Note that they’re actually talking about the latest stable Opera release as well. (There is no Opera 9.8; only the user agent string says that.)

These are all just false positives from internal situations where we have exceptions caught. I see this one in jsfiddle.net as well without jQuery: ​http://i.imgur.com/yrZSb.png

In both cases it is clearly not an unhandled exception, the try-catch is RIGHT THERE above the line that throws. The only way I can see to avoid it breaking is to turn off the "Show parse errors and break on exceptions" although I'd prefer to still show parse error and only break on unhandled exceptions.

12.50 does not stop on handled exception by default anymore. So yeah.
