"Automation Server Can't Create Object" Error With Activex Jscript?
Oct 22, 2010
i am trying to use mscomm in html and javascript to communicate with a device over the serial port but when i run a test of the activex object in a .hta file i get the error "Automation server can't create object". does anybody know why its doing this? it gives the error on the line with var mscomm = new activex.........
I've been working to fix this error for awhile and have tried everything I can find on the web. I have the below code that pulls selected data from checkboxed rows in a table and puts it in to a 2-D array. It then takes it and creates an excel file that the user should be able to "Save As.." When I click the button which calls the below function, I get this error "Automation Server Can't Create Object" I have enabled ActiveX wide open on my IE for testing, tried several Microsoft fixes, no beans.
My html with this JavaScript line...audioControl = new ActiveXObject("VideoOS.Sdk.UI.AudioControl"); ... is causing this error, "Automation server can't create object".I believe "VideoOS.Sdk.UI.AudioControl" is in a file I have called VideoOS.SDK.DLLWhat do I need to do, to get the call to ActiveXObject() to work?Do I need my server to setup something so that "VideoOS.Sdk.UI.AudioControl" will use code in my DLL?
I have taken part of some code I know works and simply added a print statemet to it as I want it to print to the command prompt, where I am running the script, the value of REMOTEDIR why the addition of the print statement provides an error: ERROR: JScript runtime error: Object expected
i am starting a new project using Visual Studio 2010 ad using the same jQuery filesofa previous project that didn't cause errors.Visaul Studio always raisesthe same error in jquery.min.js Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'parentNode' is null or not an object I click on "continue" for that error message and the page loads fine and I don't see the javascript error icon in the bottom left corner of IE. This really baffles me. When I launch the application using Firefox I don't get an error in Visual Studio. Does anyone have any tips on debugging this jquery.min.js ? Has anyone seen something similar. Just starting this project and I already lost 12 hours troubleshooting this problem. I've looked at the html code and I can't see anything that would cause an error Here is the HTML.
I have been trying to take one small step at a time in learning jQuery... The first program I wrote is pasted below:The problem I am facing is when I run the applciation and click the button I have an error dialog pop up saying --> "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method" and pointing to this line -->$("div").addclass('color'); I have no clue how to go about it.
I have JavaScript code, that exports a HTML table to MS Excel.
This works fine on my development (local) server, however, it fails to work on my 'live' IIS server. Once I click on the Export link, I confirm the "Export to Microsoft Excel?" message, then nothing happens. I am not sure if MS Excel needs to be installed on the server or not?code...

I am trying to call a ActiveX object from JSP using the ActiveXObject method in javascript. I have a dll filed named Patchgenerator.dll which is registered and assigned a prog id "Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1" which is being passed as an argument to the ActiveXObject method. Below is the code i am trying to execute..
[Code]...
When i write the above code and save it as an html file it works fine..the activex object is created and the methods are called , but when i copy the same code to a file and save it as jsp file under webapps folder under tomcat it doesnt work and reports a javascript error with the error being: Automation server cant create the object at line : var SSOObj = new ActiveXObject("Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1");
Ive been banging my head on the wall for hours with this one, hopefully someone will know what Im doing wrong here :
The Goal:
I have an xml file that is generated on the fly via JSP which I want to load into a Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object and manipulate via javascript on the client side. Data is retreived from the server at the request of the javascript without having to reload the page.
The Problem:
For the JSP to dynamically output xml, the file must have the extension JSP, which is set to the mime type of dynamo-internal/html on the server side (as we are using ATG Dynamo). But the javascript on the client side will not retrieve anything unless the file extension is ..xml (or the mime type is recognized as text/xml). So the only way I can get it to work is to change the extension to .xml, which then of course amkes it so that the server will not process any of the JSP code.
Ive tried to override the mime type within the javascript, using the setRequestHeader method after opening the file, but no luck. A call to alert the value of req.responseXML.xml after the send() turns up empty. Ive only gotten it to work if I use a static xml file in palce of the jsp. Sample of the javascript code is below:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // branch for native XMLHttpRequest object - THIS WORKS req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.overrideMimeType("text/xml"); req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange; req.open("GET", "models.jsp?cId=300006&mId=TAC24", true); req.send(null); alert(req.responseXML.xml); //this gives me the resulting xml file } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version - NOT WORKING req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange; req.open("GET", "models.jsp?cId=300006&mId=TAC24", true); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml"); req.send(); alert(req.responseXML.xml); //this gives me nothing } }
In looking at the following example the Microsoft gives (bottom of page):
I should note that I successfully got the script to work using the XMLHttpRequest object and the overrideMimeType() method. This works with FireFox and I think some Mozilla clients, but not with the all important IE5, which instead uses the XMLHTTP ActiveX control.=
I am trying to use the Goto method of the Word ActiveX object. I am trying to open a document and go to a named bookmark. If I use this code in VB it works, so I'm sure the approach is possible, I just can't get JavaScript to work with it.
Here is the code I am using, the error I get from IE is Object Expected: Hope someone can help! Any help would be much appreciated
function PageLoad() { var WordApp = new ActiveXObject('Word.Application'); WordApp.Visible = true; var documentlocation = crmForm.all.new_documentlocation.DataValue; var wd = WordApp.Documents.Open(documentlocation); wd.Select(); var Name = 'TestFred' var wr = wd.Selection.GoTo(What : Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToBookmark,Name : 'TestFred'); }
I have files on the server: .txt, .xml, .config, and "no extension" - all editable with notepad.
User will write some input, it will be added to file in specific place.
I need an ability to change element value in file (in one of them - depends what user choose) (or it even can be some trigger word it-self like CHANGE_ME for not to use attributes)
Create a temporary copy of edited file and create a unique temporary link to it.
I don't know what to start from.... For now I know how to make XHR, but what to do with other extensions?
Have no idea how to save the NEW file (a copy of original file) on server , and create a UNIQUE link ,and delete the file right after it was downloaded.
I can find a specific word in xml file, but how to change it?[code]...

Is there any way at all to create a new template object that inherits from the built in Date object so as to be able to add new methods to that child object without adding them to the built in Date object? I've tried everything I can think of and as far as I can tell it keeps referencing the Date function instead of the Date object and so doesn't work.
I have come across an issue that only happens with IE.I have a custom save function that is designed to handle different ajax submits but I will simplify it for debugging. The issue is that once I make a submit everthing is fine at first. Then once I try to submit a second time it craps out. I am checking to see if there is an onsubmit function and then executing it like so before continuing. After the inital submit it is no longer found. When I alert the typeof document on the form it returns object but when I add the onsubmit it says object expected or object is null or undefined.
Code:
function secureBarSubmit(formId) { alert(typeof document.getElementById(formId)); // object always alert(typeof document.getElementById(formId).onsubmit); // func first time then it is broken
I am using a Photo Gallery script called Galleria which uses jQuery/JavaScript to display photos. On my index page load (only in Internet Explorer), a message box pops up saying "Message from Web Page [object Object]". After clicking OK the photo gallery loads and there is no problem.No idea how to fix this, or really what the error means. You can view the error from my site here

Site - [URL] Location of js and css - [URL] The jCarousel works great in all other browsers, but in IE, when you get to the end of the jCarousel it gives the "Error: 'url' is null or not an object" pop up and it won't let me use the left arrow buttons to go back.
