The code property of the DOMException interface returns a short number that contains the error code of the exception error, or 0 if none match. This is a read-only property.

Syntax:

var codeNumber = domException.code;

Note: This property has been DEPRECATED and is no longer recommended.

Return Value: This property returns a short number.

Example: In this example, we will create an INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR and then show its code.

    function get(){
        try {
                // INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
            var elem = document.createAttribute ("123");
        }
        catch (e) {
            console.log("Error is :", e);
            console.log("Errorcode is :", e.code);
