Javascript error in IE7, works fine in Firefox??

[mdw9604]

Hi all,

I am newbie at javascript, but I have a script that animates gif images and worked for a number of years, but now with IE7 it does not work.

I am getting an error on this line of code. Does anything seem out of the ordinary or strange that would cause it not to work in IE7 but still works fine in Firefox 2.0.02???


<A HREF="javascript: func()" onClick="change_mode(1);rev()">

There debugger error I am getting says...

Error: Object does not support this action?

Here is a url to a link of the animation I am using. The stop button does not work and if you try to reverse the animation you get the above error message.
Again this worked fine in IE6 and does work properly in Firefox

This is a loop of weather radar imagery.

Thanks for any help. I am quite stumped!!

Darn, still getting the same error message in the IE7 debugger.

Can you try to to loop it in IE7 and look at the source in the debugger?

Thanks for your help, I really do appreciate it!

All browsers have an error on that line. (rev is not a function). If you alert typeof rev in that line, you get string when it should be function, although rev is and continues to be type function.
Before delving any further you need to validate your broken HTML, just to eliminate it. Then if you still have a problem, post again.

rev is a function that is defined in the javascript (stands for reverse) here it is.


//===> "Play reverse"

function rev()

{

stop();

status = 1;

play_mode = 1;

animate_rev();

}

The weird thing is that it worked normally in IE6, but IE7 breaks it and also the stop button (function) doesn't work either. The void trick does not seem to work either. Any other advice. I am at the point I am will to pay someone to fix this dang script. I would like it to work again... Any takers???

Thanks!!!

Yes I saw it for myself.

It doesn't work with IE6 either. I think that the rev() function may be clashing with something with the same name in the code to which you link. When I renamed rev() to REV(), the indicated error cleared.
I suggest that you try it.

That worked! In conjunction with fixing the stop button, it is working again. Many many thanks!!

If you link to third-party code that you do not control, your code should be written in an encapsulated or object-orientated format, so that object names can not conflict.
