Hello,

I'm calling a WCF service through javascript and right now it's not showing any errors that might occur on the service side to the user. I have the code below and am looking for a better way to inform the user an error has occured, including the call stack and error message if possible.

The service itself throws a FaultException if an error has occured. However, I want to catch that error in the javascript call and show it to the user.

Here is the js code to call the service

function Save() {
    var saveInfo = $("._saveInfo").val()

    app.namspace.interfacetoservice.Save(
        saveInfo,
        function(results) {
            if (results == true) {
                window.close();
            }
            else {
                alert("error saving");
            }
        }
    );
}

Thanks for the help!
