function trace(e, fn) { e.stackTrace = e.stackTrace || []; e.stackTrace.push(fn); return e; }

function d() { try { throw new Error("oh noes!"); } catch (e) { throw trace(e, "d"); } }
function c() { try { d(); } catch (e) { throw trace(e, "c"); } }
function b() { try { c(); } catch (e) { throw trace(e, "b"); } }
function a() { try { b(); } catch (e) { throw trace(e, "a"); } }

try
{
  a();
}
catch (e)
{
  alert("Error: " + e.message + "\r\n" + "Stack Trace: " + e.stackTrace.join("\r\nat "));
