Can syntax errors be caught in JavaScript?

Question

MDN states:

A SyntaxError is thrown when the JavaScript engine encounters tokens or token order that does not conform to the syntax of the language wh

Answer 1

You can catch programmer-generated and runtime exceptions but you cannot catch JavaScript syntax errors, though you may handle them in some browsers using window.onerror.

This is taken from the book JavaScript- The Complete Reference by Thomas-Powell which I like very much. You can refer to the code examples in that book.
