Script Run Time Error Invalid Character / Solution For This?
Sep 24, 2009
I need some suggestion to solve my problem on runtime error of jawascript ' e.g. Invalid Character' i am unable to sort out and fix it.
code... after login problem being started
I am trying to use Accordion Content script v1.7 from DynamicDrive.com on some pages. I have set up a test page to show the error messages. I have changed the doctype of the page several times, including the exact one they use on the sample/instruction page on DD, but no luck. It is also throwing an error of undefined var ddaccordion, which is defined in ddaccordion.js, which is the JS file that goes with sample page , which is located in the same directory.
I am writing a Javascript to sort and write out some stuff. PHP is not an option so I need to get this script working.
The problem arises when I want to make a link to the next page. (i.e. Like the link in google for the next 10 results)
I have <a href=# onclick=FUNCTION(VALUES)> written dynamically by the script.
It is written onto the document correctly, but the problem is, when the link is clicked, some seemingly random values are passed to the function.
I also have an invalid character error that arises when I pass the "whereVARquoted" variable into my function (code 2) which disappears when the variable is removed (code 1).
This string is a key in our database that I have no control over and I want to set the value of the menu according to this value because it is unique. I suspect that the '' or the '>' or the '!' is making Javascript think that this is a different type of data than string.
Is there a way to 'force' Javascript to interpret this as string?
I have thoroughly researched this out and I was able to see many examples of this error, however the scenarios were not similar enough to my example and although I learned that this error is caused by trying to place a block level element into an inline element, I am not able to fix it myself.
It may not be all difficult to fix, but I am new to this and just learning so for me it's rather frustrating at the moment. This script does work in Firefox. code...
I amreceivingthe following error on IE8:Invalid argument. jquery-1.4.2.js, line 5899 character 5 Now I have used the debugger, and this seems to be the only error it catches. And I realize that I could go through each line of what I wrote and figure out what line triggered this portion of jQuery. However in the interest of making jQuery better, I want to understand this error and fix it in the jQuery file.
I'm testing my webpage in IE8. In firefox it looks and runs greag, but in IE 8, one issue I'm having is this: I have a button that opens a popup window. Works fine in Firefox, but I get 'invalid argument' error in IE8 and the window does not open. I've enabled at a whim some scripting things in the Internet Options.
Here's the code. The "invalid argument" occurs on the window.open call.
In addition, is there any way to have that tile I've given it, "my Site..." appear in the window header? Right now it's not appearing at all in either browser.
I'm having trouble sending JSON data; error msg [code]it works if i hard-code the values, but when i use the user-defined variables i get the error.[code]
I'm trying to diagnose/solve a problem with internet explorer, whereby sometimes the form submits, and other times IE produces an 'invalid syntax' error.
First, I have a form, and within the form is a button bar and a <div> block which contains a table of parameters. The div block is used to create a layer.
Now, when the table contains 15 or less rows in it, any button on the button bar which calls form.submit() works as it should, however, where the table has 16 or more rows, the form.submit generates an "invalid syntax" error. IE doesnt provide any more detail on this error. Code:
I'm a newby who has manage to get up and running rather quickly and with ease using the documentation. My form validates as expected but it shows the default error messages and highlights the invalid fields. How can I suppress the error messages?
I have written a function to compare each character in startString with another nominated character (nomChar). If they are the same this character is written to outputString, in the same position. If they are not the same a character is lifted from the same position in altString and placed in the same position in outputString instead. I hope that's clear!
Code as follows:
However, the line of code within the if statement outputString.charAt(count) = nextLetter; keeps generating an 'Invalid assigment left hand side' error message.
I am trying to design menu and also been successful at some extent. Root menu items doesn't create any problem but when I used following code to create drop down submenu items i got the error:Invalid argument
The error causing line is bold
While this javascript code doesn't work in FF3.x.x but in IE.
I am working on a javascript code for validating phone numbers against 0's.The scenario is that, 1 ) If the phone number contains all 0's in it, an error message is displayed. Eg. 0, 0000, 000-000-0000, 000,0000000000 etc..2 ) Phone number should only take digits [0-9] and some delimiters ()-,.+ "All other alphabets and special characters are not allowed.Eg. 01, 102-125-0214, etc.. ( allowed ) sjjlkjkj, xllfs -09-49- ( not allowed )3 ) The code I have written is as below -

I have a registration page with a username field and every time a character is type I would like to call a javascript function to test for a unique username. My function is working fine but I'm currently using onChange to call it and I noticed that onChange is less of an actual onChange and more of a onChange if onBlur. Is it possible to run the script every time a character changes even if the user is still typing? Note, I'm using ASP.NET in VB to write this page but I'd like to do this with javascript and not post back if at all possible.
in IE only (tested version 7) if var myWord = "English" then it works fine but if var myWord = "Modifier Chau00EEnes" then I get "Unterminated string constant" error.
What fix would you suggest to keep div.innerHTML = "" format?
I narrowed it down to the line: var i = $("#tabs-1a").css("width"); It appears ie doesn't like the "width" property but I don't know why. Here is the whole script for the page:
$(function(){ $("#FraudVideo").tabs(); $("#TipsNews").tabs(); var i = $("#tabs-1a").css("width");
I get the "Invalid return" error (in Javascript console) when I run this piece of code:
<a href="javascript:if (document.dc_form.tn.value == ''' && document.dc_form.cid.value == '') { alert('You have not made a selection. Please select one of the fields first.');return false; } document.dc_form.submit();">Go!</a>
If I remove the "return false;", it displayes the alert and continues to what it is NOT supposed to do.
