If you goto this website, you can see that the page breaks in the head when calling google analytics.  Says the variable is undefined, but it is within a try{}catch{} and should catch the error.  I am noticing this on my work website as well on one of the pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto http://www.bartexts.com
2. use firebug to see the error
3.
Actual Results:  
Error in the HEAD even though the undefined variable is in a try catch.

Expected Results:  
the error should be caught and ignored.

I don't see any errors about undefined variables on this page.  I do see an error like this:

  Error: regular expression too complex

Erg, yes you're absolutely right.  It was catching that correctly, it is that regex problem that is the problem.  I found this post:

Not too helpful, but maybe upgrading jquery will help. thanks for confirming that though!
