can't find error

Was finally able to dress up the coding the way I like it.
But my editor keeps reporting an error on the page.
"line 42....object required".
Regardless of what line 42 contains.

Otherwise, the page actually validates.

If you can figure out the error, let me know please.

Mozilla:

Error: dw_scrollObj is not defined
Source File: http://geocities.com/r_bullis/js/dw_hoverscroll.js
Line: 12

Fix that error first, then follow the errors that Mozilla reports. Then
you can test it in IE. IE is well known to be the worse possible browser
to test pages in.

In IE 6 the page renders nearly correct.
There is a gap between the menu sidebar and the scrolling table.
In Firefox, the page renders as it should.
In Netscape 7.2 the layers don't even show up in the table, but show up
elsewhere as they should.

Totally true, except if you have Visual Studio .NET installed. Then,
when an error occurs, you have the option to open the page in Studio's
script debugger, which is pretty good. I used to like only Venkman until
now, but after having spent almost one year programming JavaScript for
IE, I got to say that it's handy to have both client-side and
server-side debugged in the same debugger.

Thanks. I'll look into it. Maybe the file got corrupted or something.
But the source file is online. I double checked to make sure.
Works fine in firefox.

OK. I told you bullshit. Remove line 40. The problem is that the original
program shows the content of "lyr1", while you want to hide it. So you have to
hide it again at the end of the initial function "initScrollLayer()". Insert a
new line into this function between "dw_scrollObj..." and "}" (i.e. create a new
line 38):

document.getElementById('lyr1').style.visibility = 'hidden';

The firefox js console reports:
error: lyr has no properties.

lyr is the variable used to show which "layer" is being applied.

Don't understand this at all.

The only other thing that MIGHT be causing the error is that I have the
layer links outside of a table.
Because when inside of a table, I get no errors.
Don't know why, But if it has to be that way, so be it.

This usually means that the variable lyr was not initialized (that it is
"undefined" or "null". It is empty, has no properties. It's the same
meaning that "object required", only expressed a bit differently.

You should debug your code, observe this lyr variable, and find out why
it's not initialized.

Typically, this could happen if you do something like:

var lyr = document.getElementById( "someId" );

and that no element in the document has this ID. Then the variable would
be null.
