Let's look at some examples of throwing a uri error within our code.

try {
  throw new URIError();
} catch (e) {
    alert('A uri error: ' + e.name);
}  

// Throw an error with a message.

We can also create our own URIError instances as the example below shows.



// Create our own URIError object.
function ourURIError(message) {  
  this.name = 'OurURIError';  
  this.message = message || 'Default Message Used When No Message Passed';
}   

// Inherit from the URIError prototype.
ourURIError.prototype = new URIError();  
ourURIError.prototype.constructor = ourURIError;   

// Throw an error.
try {  
  throw new ourURIError();  
} catch (e) {  
  alert('Our Error: ' + e.name + ' Message: ' + e.message);
}   

// Throw an error and a message.
try {  
  throw new ourURIError('A Message we have passed');  
} catch (e) {  
  alert('Our Error: ' + e.name + ' Our Message: ' + e.message);
} finally {  
  alert('A finally statement will always be executed!');
}
