HTML onerror Event Attributes

The onerrorevent is a powerful feature in HTML and JavaScript that helps developers manage errors gracefully. It is triggered whenever an error occurs during the loading or execution of resources such as scripts, images, or other external assets, or when a runtime error happens in the JavaScript code. This event is essential for debugging and improving the user experience by allowing error tracking and fallback mechanisms.
