I've got a form which has the following code:
<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST"
language="JavaS cript"
onsubmit="retur n FrontPage_Form1 _Validator(this )"
name="FrontPage _Form1">
It works, but I don't understand it. If I try and use this code on
another site it fails (Error: Object expected), but works with:
<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST"
language="JavaS cript"
onsubmit="retur n true">
I think the object expected is "true", and I can see that the method in
the original code may return true or false, but I don't know where this
validation code is! Neither site has FrontPage extensions.

In the HTML source,
look for a JavaScript "include" file such as
<script language="javas cript" src="Validator. js"></script>
that contains:
function FrontPage_Form1 _Validator(...) {
...
}

None found, but you led me onto the trail. There is a FrontPage web-bot
that does it; this is hidden when in FrontPage (sigh!).

What is a WebBot?
A WebBot is a web-based robot program capable of performing certain
automatic operations. FrontPage WebBots are used by Microsoft to invoke many
of the interactive features built into FrontPage. Those features are added
to your site through the FrontPage Editor. http://www.subspacenet.com/support/frontpage.htm
Chapter 20
Automation with FrontPage's WebBots
WebBots greatly streamline the development process and eliminate the need to
write your own scripts or add complicated HTML commands. With a WebBot you
can collect the results from forms, automatically add navigation bars,
create pages with full text searches, allow registered users to access key
areas of your Web site, and much more. There is no programming involved at
all. http://www.emu.edu.tr/english/facili...r/bookslib/Mic

Here is what is likely happening...
Somewhere in your source code that works, you have something like:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript" SRC="something. js"></SCRIPT>
This means that it is loading some javascript code, likely including
FrontPage_Form1 _Validator in the code.
In the version that fails, either you do not have the line, including
the javascript, or the code is not in the proper place on your server,
or both. Because of this, when you try to run the form validator, it
has never been defined, and you get a failure.
If you do not care about form input validation, you likely do not need
to worry about the function... just a guess.
Without seeing the server, it could be a different answer.

Me too. It is invalid HTML (the `form' element does not
have a `language' attribute), and you have not provided
the FrontPage_Form_ 1_Validator(... ) function.
If I try and use this code on another site it fails (Error: Object expected),
You have not included the above function, so you cannot call it.
but works with:
<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST" language="JavaS cript" onsubmit="retur n true">
Of course. There is no function called here, only the `onsubmit'
handler is used in overkill (the event is never canceled, so the
event handler could be just left out.)
And it is still invalid HTML, the default scripting language (for
event handlers) is to be defined within the `head' element with
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
(for JavaScript.)
I think the object expected is "true",
No. If `false' is returned, the `submit' event is canceled,
otherwise, and especially if `true' is returned, it is not.
The "object expected" is the Function object to be called
that is undefined.
and I can see that the method in the original code may return true or false, but I don't know where this validation code is! Neither site has FrontPage extensions.
I seriously doubt that. Nothing undefined can be called.[1]

Does it mean "(sizeof(int))* (p)" or "sizeof( (int)(*p) )" ?
According to my analysis, operator sizeof, (type) and * have the same
precedence, and they combine from right to left. Then this expression should
equal to "sizeof( (int)(*p) )", but the compiler does NOT think so. Why?
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Best regards.
