GlobalEventHandlers.onsecuritypolicyviolation

The onsecuritypolicyviolation property of the GlobalEventHandlers mixin is an event handler for processing securitypolicyviolation events.

The securitypolicyviolation event fires when there is a Content Security Policy violation.

Note: In practice you must use the implementation of this property in a top level object (i.e. Window or Document). While the property exists in HTML elements, you can't assign a handler to the property until the elements have been loaded, by which time this event will already have fired.

Syntax

onsecuritypolicyviolation = functionRef

Value

functionRef

A function name, or a function expression. The function receives a SecurityPolicyViolationEvent object as its sole argument.

Only one onsecuritypolicyviolation handler can be assigned to an object at a time.

For greater flexibility, you can pass a securitypolicyviolation event to the EventTarget.addEventListener() method instead.

Example

This code shows a very simpler top-level handler set on Window that logs a value in the event to a text area (the same approach will work with a Document). Note that in this case the Content-Security-Policy value, which is set using a meta tag, allows the 'unsafe-inline' script to run, but the image cannot be loaded.
