Benjamin,

That document is a huge improvement and was very enlightening! After reading
it through and playing with implementing some of the features detailed I've
thought of one more question...

Is there any way of throwing errors that the javascript can handle?

The main reason I can see this being useful is if someone calls a function
and one of the parameters is incorrect or the internal state of the object
is invalid for that call it would be nice to throw an error so the
javascript user has an idea why it didn't work. For example I have a
function that returns an item based on it's index, if the supplied index
doesn't exist I want to be able to throw an error stating this.

This is currently done within qt-webkit if, for example, you pass in a
integer as the first parameter to the connect function. However looking at
the code in qt_runtime.cpp their doesn't seem to be a way of calling similar
code. I tried throwing an exeception but that behaves just like a normal
uncaught exception crashing my app.

Again thanks for your help!

Mike
