I have a html document, in which I include two standard libraries of
functions (supposed to help me with cross browser issues), and one
application-specific script file. All Javascript fcoz.
The very first attempt at invoking a function from this last script file
fails miserably in IE (6) but works as it should in Moz (1.4)
I have tried putting alert()s here and there, so I (think I) can tell
the exact spot where IE dies.
initAPI sits in libPlatform, and executes. I get to see the first alert.
And then, boom, IE script errors on page: Object expected (points to
'regTooltip')
Am I missing something here? If my code is wrong, why is Mozilla so
forgiving about it? How can I persuade IE to get the function?
Note: if I put regTooltip() right above register(), so locally in the
document, it works.
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'm receiving an "Object Expected" Error (Line:28, Char:7). I'm confused as to what is happening. I have virtually the same exact function in a different web page and I do not receive an error with this other page. Also, if I run this code in Fire Fox, I do not receive any error. Is there something that I'm missing? The error is pointing to "TextChanged();". Code:
But when I click the button, I get the yellow triangle of doom with Error on Page which tells me "Object Expected - line 122. So I go to line 122 and see the end center tag, and that doesn't help me one bit, of course... So now I turn to you all. What did I do wrong?
Here's my problem - I have AJAX working for a login script in firefox, no flaws I can see, but in IE all I get when clicking the login button is nothing but an error saying ....
I am still new to JavaScript and have a simple JavaScript & PHP journal program that allows the user to enter a title and description to be automatically added to a page that list their journal entries.
Everything works fine except for one part that I am just lost on, at the bottom of the page there is a dropdown menu which lists monthly archives, but when you select any month from the list you get a script error and nothing happens. You are supposed to go to a page that would list al the entries from that month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not have the knowledge yet to fix this nor can I find the site that originally created this script.
An error 'Object expected' error occurs when loading the page online in IE.There is no error in any browser when it is in local.I need to show a popup when mouse is moved upwards...it works nice in all browsers offline but when it is made online it is not working properly in IE,when the mouse is moved upward popup shows with an error 'Object expected' and it fails to load that instant.In mozilla and other browsers it works properly.
The Date Object returns GMT Firefox gives: Date {Sat Jul 23 2011 18:02:12 GMT+0100 (Cen)} Chrome gives: Sat Jul 23 2011 18:02:12 GMT+0100 (Eastern Standard Time) I was expecting: Sat Jul 23 2011 14:02:12 GMT+0600 (Eastern Standard Time) My Windows XP (x86) PC gives me expected results.
Have been hammering away at this problem for a couple of hours and found that the 'type' attribute of the jQuery script files is set to 'application/javascript'. This works in Firefox but not IE. When changed to 'text/javascript' the IE error on $(document).ready event disappears. As yet no apparent side effects have occured. This is the only scenario where I have seen 'application/javascript' ever used so why this instead of 'text/javascript'?
I wrote a simple javascript function but I cant get it to work upon a button click event because it keeps telling me that "object is expected" ? could you please identify where the error is? Heres my code <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <script type="text/Javascript" language="Javascript"> function output(){ alert("Hello world"); } </script> <head> <body> <input type="button" name="btnSubmit" value="submit" onclick="output();" /> <input type=button onclick="output();"> </body> </html> It keeps indicating me that there is an error when calling the method on button click.
I have a JS HTML editor (not a WYSIWYG) that I downloaded and it works fine, except that any input with quotes causes it to break. I need the quotes for things like HTML and CSS classes etc.If I have quotes inside the onClick, it fails completely with an Object expected error. If the quotes are escaped with a , I get an "unterminated string constant" error, with this showing where a button should be
I am trying to use the cookies script at to make a "ReloadIfIE" script when someone clicks on a link. Basically I want to refresh the page if someone is using internet explorer due to a bug in IE. I want the text in a textarea to be saved and re-inserted into the textarea after refresh.I was told to use cookies to accomplish this.I get the error "Object expected" for the line that contains the bolded text below...Of note, I've also tried it by placing the element_id directly into the script.. but that didn't help either.
Code: function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date();[code]............
My very simple function clickEvent1() (defined in the page head) that expands/shrinks a hidden tag <h6> with text, id="lignep" in the body
Here is a code which throws error for line 104 in the page body with message "Object expected", but I can't figure out what is wrong in this line that calls for function clickEvent1():
I get an Object Expected error when trying to toggle showing a hidden div in IE. This is the code in <head>:
<script type="application/javascript"> function toggleLayer( whichLayer ) { var elem, vis; if( document.getElementById ) this is the way the standards work elem = document.getElementById( whichLayer ); else if( document.all ) this is the way old msie versions work elem = document.all[whichLayer]; else if(
I am now able to list the folders and files in a directory. However, when I try to pass the values into another function to open the folder/file, I encounter an error saying object expected. I'm guessing that its the in the file paths that is causing the error. so my solution is to find the and replace it with a \ before passing it to the function to open the file. but the str.replace("\","\\") does not seem to work.
IE6 is giving me an "Object Expected" error. IE tells me the line number & I've marked that line in BOLD in the code below. It may not look like much--but that's the point. I've been having this error all night and I've been removing things trying to boil it down to bare bones to figure out what's going on.
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 running a sliding menu on my website and it runs fine on my Moz FF browser but not in the IE version.This is the script I am using:(There is a couple of lines of php at the topbut main bit is javascript)
Does anyone know why these event codes run twice? E.g. I am using a cookie to keep track of [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [F] by incrementing a variable once everytime it is used. However the code for it runs twice and thus the variable is never odd as it always increments by two.It's the same for the other events, such as [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [S], it runs twice. This was not occuring when I first inserted the cookie code last week. I have read about "bubbling" but I cannot seem to stop the code running a second time.EDIT: Internet Explorer (6+) is only browser code needs to work in.
document.addEvent('keydown', function(event) { var event = new Event(event); if (event.key == 'f' && event.control && event.shift) {
I'm trying to put together this expandable menu that runs sql (using javascript and php). I've got the code below but I'm horrible with javascript and I can't get two things to work.I cannot figure out how to use the closall() function so that when the page opens all selections are closed.I'm trying to get the mouseover colors and clickable areas and the only way I know how to do that is with a table so I thought I'd put a quick table in between the <li> but can't figure out the whole onClick= to incorporate the # so that I can get rid of the <a href> tag part...
I'm having difficulty in explaining why the following code runs slower in IE9 than IE8! (Testing in Win 7 IE9 both 32 bit and 64 bit running in VMWare 3 virtual machine on OS X 10.6.7)
Here's some test code that runs smoothly in about half a second in (latest) FF/Chrome/Safari on OS X, WinXP, and Win7 plus IE7 & 8 on WinXP (for simplicity I removed the tweak that makes it work in IE6).
For some reason I can't explain, it's awful in IE9, slow and clunky. Reducing the time for the setTimeout makes it a bit quicker but no less jerky.
I've tried removing and benchmarking a number of what might be the choke points (Math.min for example ... all with no change.
I'm making a website at [URL].. and I'm trying to create a menu using Jquery 1.3.2. Anyways, if you look at the tabs in my header, they have an effect but it only works once. After I mouse over the same tab a second time, they do not animate. I also have a similar menu at [URL].. You may notice the second menu also will fade to a darker gray. If i copy and past that code into my drupal block, it will still only animate one time. Do i need to include something extra because its version 1.3.2??? I also have another Jquery plugin below the header which is called a S3SLIDER. I'm not calling the jquery script up more than once.Here's the code for the Jquery menu at adc-design.com:
I have a function which is called twice. It allows the elements of an array to be set to a different color, successively:
function ln8 (arrayA,color,current) { var arrayB=(typeof arrayA == 'string')? arrayA.split(',') : arrayA; var line = document.getElementById(arrayB[current]);
