The messageerror
event (used by multiple APIs: MessagePort
, Web Workers, Broadcast Channel, Window
) is fired when a object receives a message that cannot be deserialized and therefore raises an error.

Cancelable | No |
Target objects | MessagePort , DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope , Worker , BroadcastChannel , Window |
Interface | MessageEvent |
Examples
Worker.onmessageerror = function() { // Respond to a message error };
Inheritance
The messageerror
event implements the MessageEvent
interface, which inherits from Event
. It therefore has available the properties and methods defined on both these interfaces.
