Javascript Error comes and goes

21 New Member
Hi All,

Don't know where to put the post as it involves javascript and ASP.NET pages, so I'll just put it here.

I have a very simple aspx page and and a couple of simple javascript functions to move elements around the page (up and down).

If I execute js functions from within the form I got Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required, If I do that from outside the form everything works the way it's supposed to.

Any Idea?

Here is the page (bold where I get the error):

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="Defau lt.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Defa ult" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javas cript">

var topMemory=0;

function getObj(name)
{
if (document.getEl ementById)
{
this.obj = document.getEle mentById(name);
this.style = document.getEle mentById(name). style;
} <--ERROR HERE
else if (document.all)
{
this.obj = document.all[name];
this.style = document.all[name].style;
}
else if (document.layer s)
{
this.obj = document.layers[name];
this.style = document.layers[name];
}
}

function move()
{

var x = new getObj('myTitle ');

x.style.positio n = 'absolute';

if (100 > fr++)
{

x.style.top = parseInt(topMem ory) + 2*fr;

if (100 == fr)
{
topMemory = x.style.top;
}

setTimeout('mov e()', 50);
}

}

function moveUp()
{

var x = new getObj('myTitle ');

x.style.positio n = 'absolute';

if ( 100 > fr++)
{

x.style.top = parseInt(topMem ory) - 2*fr;

if (100 == fr)
{
topMemory = x.style.top;
}

setTimeout('mov eUp()', 50);
}

}


</script>

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<h1 id="H1_1" style="top: 0;" > DHTML Animation </h1>

<input id="Button2" value="Move It Down!" style="position : absolute; top: 60px;" type="button" onclick="fr=0; move();"/>

<input id="Button3" value="Move It Up!" style="position : absolute; top: 60px;left: 150px;" type="button" onclick="fr=0; moveUp();"/>
</div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Cheers,

Giovanni

You don't have an element with id "myTitle". Use a valid id.

Ok, now I have it (I was copying and pasting and visual studio changed the ID).
It is working fine like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="Defau lt.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Defa ult" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptMana ger ID="ScriptManag er1" runat="server" />

</form>

<div>
<div id="myTitle" style="z-index:2; position: absolute; top: 30px; border-right: gray thin solid; border-top: gray thin solid; border-left: gray thin solid; border-bottom: gray thin solid; background-color: aqua;" > DHTML Animation </div>

<input id="DownButton " value="Move It Down!" style="z-index:1; position: absolute; top: 60px; width: 100px;" type="button" onclick="fr=0; move();"/>

<input id="Button1" value="Move It Up!" style="z-index:1; position: absolute; top: 60px; left: 150px; width: 100px;" type="button" onclick="fr=0; moveUp();"/>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

var x = new getObj('myTitle ');
var topMemory = x.style.top;

function getObj(name)
{
if (document.getEl ementById)
{
this.obj = document.getEle mentById(name);
this.style = document.getEle mentById(name). style;
}
else if (document.all)
{
this.obj = document.all[name];
this.style = document.all[name].style;
}
else if (document.layer s)
{
this.obj = document.layers[name];
this.style = document.layers[name];
}
}


function move()
{

var x = new getObj('myTitle ');

x.style.positio n = 'absolute';

if ( 100 > fr++)
{


x.style.top = parseInt(topMem ory) + 2*fr;

if (100 == fr)
{
topMemory = x.style.top;
}

setTimeout('mov e()', 50);
}

}

function moveUp()
{

var x = new getObj('myTitle ');

x.style.positio n = 'absolute';

if ( 100 > fr++)
{


x.style.top = parseInt(topMem ory) - 2*fr;

if (100 == fr)
{
topMemory = x.style.top;
}

setTimeout('mov eUp()', 50);
}

}


</script>

</body>

</html>

But if I put my div inside the form it doesn't work in IE7 (but it does in Firefox!)

What's this!?!

Thanks,

G

This is for a search page that takes parameters on one page, processes the query, and displays them on another page. I've got a javascript popup window on a button click event. When the user clicks the button, the popup window opens, and the parent page goes on with the query. No problem there. The problems comes in when one of my validator's throws an error, then naturally the page does not post back waiting for the page to valid. ...

This is from my previous post, but a different issue. I have the following Javascript routine that opens a popup page, but doesn't seem to work if called from an asp.net button. It seems to work fine from a link. The button does bring up the popup window, but when I press the links on the page, it doesn't return or close the window. ****************************************************************************
