Strange error

[Aaron]

I have 2 listbox server controls on my page that I've written a few js
functions to move the options between them. All works fine, except
when I call my function to re-sort the lists. After the items are
removed from one list and added to another, the following is called
passing the "list to be sorted" in as an object. If I put a simple
alert in after the sort method, it works fine. Once I remove the
alert, I get the "Unspecified error" blah blah blah.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

function sortList(l){
var holdValue = new Array()
for(j=0;j<l.length;j++){
holdValue[j] = l[j].value
}

holdValue.sort()
//UNREM THIS.. AND IT WORKS FINE
//alert("Looking OK")
l.length=0
for(j=0;j<holdValue.length;j++){
var o = new Option(holdValue[j],holdValue[j])
l.add(o)
}
}

What server-side application are you using?

Where do you call the function(s)?
After the items are removed from one list and added to another, the
following is called passing the "list to be sorted" in as an object. If
I put a simple alert in after the sort method, it works fine. Once I

"Does not work" is a useless error description. [psf 4.11]

Don't know if this is the source of the error, but you really ought to
terminate your lines with semicolons.
