I play around with js a little... I just don't get this.
The file below is just trying out some things... it does exactly what
I want (hides/displays some things, no big deal)
The problem is that in the swapcheck(x) function below, if I uncomment
the first line (commented with //) the whole thing brings and IE
errors the page with an object expected error on line (whichever input
control I clicked).
swapcheck isn't even getting called. I don't get why it is breaking
the page.
Any help greatly appreciated.
(note that if you try this file, you will need to create two css files
to link to)

You think this is an XHTML document? Don't fool yourself, it is not. It

The practice of 'hiding scripts form older browser' with the use of HTML

The - document.all - collection is a Microsoft/IE proprietary collection
(implemented in a number of imitators) but as IE has no conception of
XHTML the use of - document.all - flags this document as a tag-soup HTML
document despite its misleading syntax and doctype declaration.
} else { document.all.th eLine.style.dis play='none' } } -->
If these HTML comment-like structures are going to be used (and they
should not) then the closing '-->', appearing at the end of the contents
of a script element are a syntax error that only a few browsers will
disregard. The accepted and safe (but still redundant) form is to
precede the '-->' with '//' so that the whole looks like an end of line
comment to the script interpreter.

Should be:-
if (document.form1 .calcat1.checke d) { }
-, with parentheses around the expression. Otherwise it is a syntax
error and the functions defined in the containing script element are not
created. Because the functions are not created attempting to call these
now non-existent functions results in an 'object expected' error.
In IE's pop-up javascript error box, check the checkbox that says
'Always display this message when a page contains errors' and then the
box will open when the syntax error happens and you will not miss it.
Incidentally, the 'shortcut' form accessor - document.form1 - should not
be expected to be available in XHTML DOMs as it is non-standard, so if
this document ever is interpreted as XHTML instead of tag-soup HTML the
script will error here (or at the earlier - document.all - use). You
would use - doucment.forms['form1'].elements['calcat1'] -(or its
dot-notation variants) in an XHTML DOM, and may as well do that anyway
as that form of property accessor is also available in HTML DOMs.
Richard.
But it brings up another question (which I guess is obvious)
So javascript interpreters check all code rather it gets called or
not?
Why, when the offending if was function bound, did it affect the other
part of the script?

I didn't think it was XHTML... didn't care...mm stuck that in there

I'm not sure you intended to help as much as you intended to

never going to move to XHTML because I script everything, though
typically serverside.
