I am running some off-the-shelf software that is written in ASP, which uses
JScript to generate dynamic content within HTML forms. There are several ASP
pages which are partially rendering to IE, but stop midway through with an
error embeded in the page: "Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a138f'
'undefined' is null or not an object".
The software package has a large install base with no other customer having
this problem. I also have a second identical install on another server
pointing to the same SQL database, and it doesn't exibit this problem either.
Our own developers were able to work around the problem by making a small
change to the code.
The original code:
<%=String(rs("Question")).length > 100?
RemoveHTML(String(rs("Section"))).substr(0, 100) + "...":
RemoveHTML(String(rs("Section")))%>
Changed to:
<%if (String(rs("Section")).length > 100)
{Response.Write(String(rs("Section")).substr(0, 100) + "...") ;} else {
Response.Write(rs("Section")); }%>
The latter bit of code had to have two changes.. one to change the odd
conditional statement to a more traditional if-statement, and second to avoid
calling the RemoveHTML function, both which cause an error.
function RemoveHTML(Expresion)
on error resume next
Dim RegEx
Set RegEx = New RegExp
RegEx.Pattern = "<[^>]*>"
RegEx.Global = True
Expresion = Replace(Expresion, "<br>", chr(10))
RemoveHTML = RegEx.Replace(Expresion, "")
end function
I've searched Microsoft's KB and Googled the error, and so far nothing
useful has come up. Any ideas on what the cause is or how I can further
troubleshoot?
!!! Again, there is nothing wrong with the code.. it works on hundreds of
other servers. There is something particular about my server that is causing
this !!!
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

It would seem odd it would be server-dependent. But for my morbid curiosity
what server are you using? And is this different to the ones other people
are using?

what their other customers are running.. presumably W2K since I was told
during one of our conference calls that 2003 wasn't supported yet, and on any
number of possible hardware combinations.

You probably have a null value in one of the columns in the database for
that installation. Perhaps the ? syntax treats null values differently than
the if/else syntax.

Thanks Mark, the database call is returning valid results.. but I'll have to
follow up on your comment about the ? operator with some testing. Not sure
why that didn't occur to me.
Something else we've discovered is that regular expressions are not working
at all on the problem server. I isolated the code from the RemoveHTML
function into its own ASP page and it consistantly returns null when I pass
it a value.
Any idea why regex would not be working on this server?
