I have a cgi program which outputs a fairly hefty amount of
html/javascript for doing a complex slide show sorta thing in a variety
of areas in the browser. I accomplish this by creating a series of
iframes and populating each iframe which its own copy of the code and a
list of items to display. It previously had it working tickety-boo
with both IE 6 and Firefox. I've had to concentrate on adding new
features to the IE side and am now attempting to get everything working
properly in Firefox.
The issue I'm running into is when I use the form
document.getElementById('some_id').someFunction Firefox often replies
that the object has no properties. I've handcoded some smaller
versions of the my program in straight html and, sure enough, they work
great. So, I'm screwing something up in my main program whereby
Firefox can't see the objects.
Has anyone else had this sort of problem and if so what did it turn out
to be? I'm looking for clues to know where to search...
The basic output of my program is (and my working test program is
similar)
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript1.2'>
function myFunction(){
document.myObj.myFunction();
}
function runIt(){
setTimeout('myFunction()', 1000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='runIt()'>
<object id='myObj' style='position:absolute; top:0; left:0;'
width='100' height='100'
CLASSID='CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6'
type='application/x-oleobject'>
</object>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas where to look would be appreciated!
