JavaScript: throw statement
Description
The throw statement creates a user define exception.
You can create your own exception for unexpected events and control the script properly to throw the exception in a try block and handle it in the catch block.
Syntax
throw exception;
Parameters
exception: String, integer, Boolean or an object.
Example of try..catch..throw statement
The following example checks the length of a variable called empcode. If the value of empcode is greater than 8 or less than 3 then the code throws an error and caught by the catch argument and an appropriate message will be displayed.

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?
What you want is the splice function on the native array object.
arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:
var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
