<noinput>

Catches a noinput event (no speech timeout). The <noinput> element catches events generated when a caller does not respond to a prompt within the given amount of time. The <noinput> element provides a shorthand notation for <catch event="noinput">. Note that the following three JavaScript variables are accessible within the <catch> element:

• _event—Specifies the name of the event that was caught.
• _message—Specifies a message that describes the event that was caught.
• _exception (Nuance extension)—Specifies the exception that caused the event to be generated.

Attributes

This section describes the attributes you can set for this element.

Name	Data type	Default
cond	CDATA	optional
count	CDATA	optional

cond

The cond attribute allows you to specify a Boolean expression. The Boolean expression must evaluate to true before the <catch> element is processed. You can specify any valid ECMAScript Boolean value.

count

The count attribute allows you to specify alternate event handlers. Alternate event handlers are used in cases where repeated occurrences of the same event occur. You can specify an integer value to identify the occurrence of the event to handle.
