When an exception is raised in javascript, it halts everything in the current execution stack. This means that any errors that are raised will prevent the execution of code further down the script block, if it resides in the same stack. This doesn't halt all script execution, just script execution within the same call stack.

I'm not directly familiar with inline javascript and error handling, but I would suspect that it has fairly liberal error handling, since one of JS's early principles was to suck up minor syntax errors and keep going (hence our legacy of horrible semicolon insertion rules).

While it may not be practical in 100% of cases, I recommend refactoring your code to be more defensive, which should avoid errors like that. Alternatively, you could wrap everything in a try/catch block and ignore the exceptions that it throws.
