Question

I have a javascript function which accept an optional parameter. This works fine in Firefox, but in Google Chrome it shows:-

Uncaug         


        

Answer 1

Javascript does not allow you to pass default arguments like that. You need to assign the default internally to the function.

function errorNotification(text) {
  text || (text = "Something went wrong!");
  $.pnotify({
      title: 'Error',
      text: text,
      type: 'error'
  });
}
