[thelist] [javascript] symerror

hiya

i've noticed a number of sites recently including

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function SymError()
{
   return true;
}
window.onerror = SymError;
//-->
</script>

in the head of their doc. zeldman uses it, as does ninjai.com and a host of
others. google doesn't have much about it (and what it does have, i don't
understand...)

could someone enlighten me as to it's purpose?
