Name
URIError: thrown by URI encoding and decoding methods â ECMAScript v3: Object â Error â URIError
Constructor
new URIError( )
new URIError(message
)
Arguments
-
message
An optional error message that provides details about the exception. If specified, this argument is used as the value for the
message
property of the URIError object.
Returns
A newly constructed URIError object. If the
message
argument is specified, the
Error object uses it as the value of its message
property; otherwise, it uses an
implementation-defined default string as the value of that
property. When the URIError( )
constructor is called as a function without the new
operator, it behaves just as it does
when called with the new
operator.

if the specified
string contains illegal hexadecimal escapes. It can also be thrown
by encodeURI( )
and encodeURIComponent( )
