In Firefox (at least), if you hit ESC, then it will close all open WebSockets connections.
I need to capture that disconnection and try to re-connect once it's available again.

Here's an example of the code I've tried to implement, but nothing I can figure out will catch the error and allow me to handle it gracefully.

Have a look at the code: http://jsfiddle.net/w5aAK/

var url = ws://echo.websocket.org;

    try {

        socket = window['MozWebSocket'] ? new MozWebSocket(url) : new WebSocket(url);

        socket.onopen = function(){

            console.log('Socket is now open.');

        };

        socket.onerror = function (error) {

            console.error('There was an un-identified Web Socket error');

        };

        socket.onmessage = function (message) {

            console.info(Message: %o, message.data);

        };

    } catch (e) {

        console.error('Sorry, the web socket at %s is un-available', url);

    }



setTimeout(function(){

    socket.send(Hello World);

}, 1000);

Turn on your console and watch the output.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is it just not possible because the connection is running outside of the scope of the JS script?

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks!
