PC IE and AJAX

[Phat G5 (G3)]

I ran into this error. On FF and Safari Mac/PC this :

http://steffan.hldns.com:85/alex_pilson/index.lasso

Looks ok. But on IE PC I get an error saying line 15 character 4 has an
error of Object expected.

Any ideas?

Is it the null in <a href="javascript:loadOptions(null,'a');">a</a> ?

http://steffan.hldns.com:85/alex_pil.../xmlhandler.js

Thanks

Would be a wise place to start looking for an answer to that.

Ok. I tried changing it here:

http://steffan.hldns.com:85/alex_pilson/index2.lasso

That was not it. It still throws the same error.

Any other ideas?

Go to this file:

http://steffan.hldns.com:85/alex_pil.../xmlhandler.js

And remove the multi-line comment at the top. Everything before the line:

var MWJ_ldD = [];

And then re-save it.

MSIE on Windows doesn't like that multi-line comment. When I remove it
in a locally saved copy, the errors go away.

I did this and you can see it in refreshing the url and it still bombing out
here.

Next?

The error is in this line:

x.options[i]= new Option( (y[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue) ,
(y[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue) )

I'd try breaking it down to

var A = y[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue ;
var B = y[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue ;

x.options[i]= new Option(A, B) ;

and see where it errors out.

Running the VS.NET debugger is showing that y only has 3 children.
Given that it's 0 base - would looking for 3 put it past the end of the
array?

Well, HOT DAMN! That was is. I had the indices of the nodes wrong. Its
working great now. Thank you. BTW, how did you get VS.net to work for you? I
could never get it set up right.
