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?
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:
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 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 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.

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 have a HTML page with multiple dynamic check boxes that I select, click "add" and it adds a list to the users on the next page. This is my JavaScript function that deals with this:
<script language="Javascript"> function doSelect() { //to avoid "unidentified" results, search elements by tag name
I am trying to implement XMLHttpRequest to a new website, but when I include HTML, the code appears as is, instead of the formated HTML. Please have a look and click the 1st link ("L'Association") on top (yello horizontal bar on top): Code:
I've built a website and have used JQuery for the 1st time. Everything works fine in Firefox and Safari but IE is really giving me a headache now! The site can be seen HERE When you roll over the main links a sub menu rolls out, when you roll over the next main link the sub menu in view scrolls back in and the one associated with the new link scrolls out - please view in either FF or Safari to see it working.
In IE the functionality of the menus just doesn't cut it??? the 1st two (Company and Services) seem to work as expected when you roll back and forth over them, but the last 2 (Portfolio and Contact) are really flakey??? They stay scrolled out when they should be scrolling back in, although sometimes they do actually scroll in, and on the last one (Contact) only one of the two links in the sub menu appears and then its not clickable????? Again please conpare between FF and IE to see what i mean.
Can anyone offer me some advice on solving this, i'm looking to get the IE version to work just as well as i have it in FF. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with javascript / jquery to fall back on so i'm just hitting my head against a brick wall at the moment.
I want to know how to find out the viewport height in IE. I have been trying to use document.body.clientHeight, which is supposedly exactly what I am after, but the results were always way too small to be the correct one.
As a test, I whacked a div in my page and made it 4000px tall, and ran document.body.clientHeight from IE's debugger and it returned a number over 4000px. It seems as thought clientHeight is actually returning the total height of the document, not the viewport size.
This works perfectly fine in firefox but i need it to work in IE the form variable names are all correct and everything but in Ie it keeps telling me when i submit the form that there is an Expected Identifier problem. Code:
I'm trying to create a scroll bar through javascript with the help of jquery. What I'm trying to accomplish is:1. When the user mouse's down, it fires off an event (mouse move) and allow the user to scroll.2. When the user mouse's up, it should unbind the event, so that the mouse move is not in effect any more.But unbind is not working as expected. I looked up the documentation, and it seems correct.
I am trying to create some divs that hide and show when a link is clicked. There may be multiples on the same page and it each needs to functionindependently.
I've added it to jsfiddle : [URL]
When the user clicks a show more link the first time nothing happens. If you do it again the div expands as planned (great!). If you do it again to close it slides back up but then bounces straight down again (Not Great!). I can't figure out what I've done wrong!. Eventually I'm going to add more functions to show some hidden data as well.
