WebGLContextEvent.statusMessage

The read-only WebGLContextEvent.statusMessage property contains additional event status information, or is an empty string if no additional information is available.

Examples

The statusMessage property can contain a platform dependent string with details of an event. This can occur, for example, if the webglcontextcreationerror event is fired.

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");

canvas.addEventListener("webglcontextcreationerror", function(e) {
  console.log("WebGL context creation failed:" +
              e.statusMessage || "Unknown error"); 
}, false);
