March 12th, 2009 by 1 comment

Intended for web developers with an intermediate to advanced knowledge of XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Windows 95, the script BSOD.js provides an easy-to-use class to boost the error reporting user experience of your websites. Made by Guillermo Rauch of Devthought.

Benefits include:

  • Simple syntax.
  • Works with every layout and browser.
  • Usability tests show extraordinary levels of acceptance.
  • Supports events to extend its functionality

Mwahahaha! Seriously though, there is a serious message in here about why error messages are often neglected, i.e. developer convenience. Thanks to Bruce Boughton for the link!

    In terms of detection of change in visual displays, or ‘Change Blindness’, the Blue Screen of Death is a phenomenal success. It is good to see that a reusable object model is freely available. Thank you for this, I will recommend it to most of my clients.
