Jquery :: Uncaught TypeError - Cannot Call Method Of Null
May 19, 2011
I have a jQuery script which works fine online, but when it comes to testing locally I get this error on the 2nd line of code:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'hide' of null
So, that means I'm trying to call a method on something that doesn't exist, or is set to null. But I'm trying to call the method on anything with the class menu. And there are divs with the class menu on my page. The script runs fine on several other pages, so it must have something to do with this page in particular, but I have no idea why...
I've put up the page online, but I don't have a direct link to it because it's a live site. You can see the code working here: The Pilot, and the offending page is here: The Gallery.
I have been trying to figure this out all day/night. And I have exhausted all my ideas....
so heres whats happening:
Ajax.js: varrequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); var response; var currentHeadLineItem = 0; iterator for which <li> node we select from our xml document response var lengthOfHeadLineList = 0; Review the offsett for this!!!!
I am having a problem with my jQuery. I am trying to get a plug-in called SlideDeck to work but the accordion will notslide. I found that jQuery is getting this Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has no method 'swing' on line 155. Everytime I click a slide to slide the repeat count goes up. Why I would be getting this error? I am using the enque script from wordpress and I am using jQueryopposedto the $ sign. Every other jquery code works fine.
I've been using this javascript (menu.js) for a drop down navigation menu for my site. Everything works well on it but in multiple browsers I get this error occurring on line 7 and 16 which is the d.className = "menuHover"; and d.className = "menuNormal";
I have the following JQuery code: $("#menu-247 > a, #menu-213 > a, #menu-214 > a, #menu-215 > a, #menu-216 > a, #menu-218 > a, #menu-219 > a").addClass("mainLevel"); /*$(".mainLevel").each(function (i) { $(this).before('<div id="' + $(this).parent().attr("id") + '-behind"> </div>'); $(this).prev().css({ width: $(this).css("width"), height: $(this).css("height"), position: "absolute", top: "0", left: $(this).parent().css("left"), zIndex: "5", display: "none", backgroundColor: "blue" }); $(this).css({ position: "relative", zIndex: "10" }); });*/ $(".mainLevel").hover(function() { alert('test'); });
And I receive the error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'guid' of undefined" in Google Chrome. I thought it had to do with the fact that the event handler was trying to be added before the DOM was modified. But then I tried simply this: $("#menu-247 > a, #menu-213 > a, #menu-214 > a, #menu-215 > a, #menu-216 > a, #menu-218 > a, #menu-219 > a").hover(function() { alert('test'); });
And still received the error. I removed all the "> a" so I simply had a list of ids and the error was still there. Even when I only have one id listed, the error comes up! It also seems to be any element. But if I just try the alert part, everything works.
I got this simple test page linked here that is suppose to automatically "click" a box at load time. Works in all browsers, except for Chrome and Safari (webkit browsers). I'm getting the error ... Code: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLDivElement> has no method 'click' Do a "view source" and you will see all the code there as being ...
I just got this script for a countdown on a website and I got it to work locally but when I upload it to the server i get the error "index.html:22 Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'fancycountdown'".
I have checked to make sure all other javascript files are loading and they are and I can't figure out whats wrong. You can see it [URL]
What i'm trying to accomplish is two things. To select the page i want to load in each tab then select how many of thoughs tabs i wish to open. When the number of tabs is selected i want it to launch. i also have a refresh button that works i just can't get the windows to load. by the way for this project i want it to open the same url that is selected on all of the tabs. Here is what i have:
I have a page which has some content that is generated via an AJAX request and JSON. The content is shown and hidden by clicking on each row using the (Animated Collapsible DIV v2.4 script ). It works fine if I have the page as one static file (which I did for testing) showing the same content the AJAX pulls. But when I display the page with AJAX generated content it comes through and the source code is essentially the same but my show/hide effects are not working. I am getting an error when I troubleshoot using Google Chrome Developer Tools that says: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '$divref' of undefined. I tried switching the order of the Javascript and HTML to see if that was the problem. But I think it has something to do with the way the page is loading in the AJAX based version. I looked into using the JQuery LiveQuery plugin but I could not figure out how to make it work with my code nor do I know if it is the fix I need anyways.
This seems like a noob error, but I really googled it out, with not much results. Got stuck on just grabbing the XML. I validated the code with the w3.org validator and it's only missing a doctype. I've checked that the file is saved with no bom. It's served from my local Apache installation.
The error I get is:
With Firebug I got:
The jQuery code:
The headers look ok to me.Response Headers
I simplified the XML and just put it in a file, but the same error comes up even when the XML is generated with PHP. I did try to change the MIME type in the request and the response, but it's all the same.
Also, if I serve a file I get a 206, and a 200 response code for the same XML generated through PHP (using header("Content-type: text/xml")).
It should not be a cross-domain issue, as it's loaded and served from my localhost?
I did implement my script first for IE8 (sidebar gadget) without jQuery and works nicely with my PHP generated XML. Then I decided to pick up jQuery and hit the first wall head on.
i have a top navigation bar with a clickable down arrow. once clicked a drop-down will appear. there are about 5 to 6 click downs. the content in the click downs are store in an external html file and i use an iframe to display it. so if 1 arrow is clicked content will show and if another is clicked while the 1st stays open, it should replace the 1st one. <snip/> I am getting an error that says TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null. the code line it's referring to is the one below with the stars:
where the error is in this:var makeCollapsiblePanels=function(){ $('.selectorheader').siblings('div').hide(); $('.selectorheader').click(function(){ this.siblings('div').toggle('Blind','',1000); }); }
The thing is, i have a bunch of small panels. In each of them I have a header (<h4 class="selectorheader"> tag) and then one or more following divs that i want to hide if I click on the header. With that code the panels hide at startup but when I try clicking to open them I get aUncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLHeadingElement> has no method 'siblings' error. I think the problem is actually in referencing the original jquery wrapping around the H4 element, how do I do that correctly?
I have two methods and I would like to call somename1 method from within somename2 method. I have tried several ways to do so however I keep getting "TypeError" or "RefernceError" I have tried several ways to reference but I am still unable. What am I doing wrong. I would think this would be easy to do.
I'm using JSON/jQuery to pre populate a drop down menu. What I want to do, is once I select a plan from the drop down menu and click submit (go button), to get the details about the plan. The drop down menu get's pre populated, but I don't get anything after clicking go. I check the functions and it seems that in the DoPlanSearch() I get the alerts showing the newly constructed URL that gets me the correct JSON. But not sure what happens once the data is processed after that. I say this, because my alert statement in the DoPlanSearchCompleted(data) gets me NULL data.
I'm just getting started with this, I'm not exactly sure what's the best approach. Also, I'm not sure the way .JSON files is setup here works, it does on my Dev server though. Code has line: function DoPlanSearchCompleted(data) It should read function UserPlanSearchCompleted(data). The same problem though exists.
I attempted to invoke a C# method using jQuery but it failed. The reason is because the method cannot be found. However the method exist in the class. Did I miss something?
How to call a method from JS through UpdatePanel with jQuery? I cant call WebMethod cause it is static (I have a custom control and it is statically inaccessible).
What I have: Custom control on a ASP.NET website in UpdatePanel
What I need: User clicks on a link and JS does its magic and than I have to post (AJAX) changes to server (custom control). How do I achieve this with UpdatePanel (I cant jQuery ajax call) - how can I call a method on server with some arguments from JS?
