debugging IE7

[Steve]

I have a script which is working fine in Firefox and until recently
worked in IE7 too. I have been working on the script and decided to
test it on my wife's XP laptop and, lo and behold, it no longer works
with IE7. With Firefox debugging is simple using Firebug but what does
one use in IE7? I get a warning in the bottom left which say "Error on
the page" (actually "Fehler auf der Seite" as my wife's laptop has
German Windows installed but I will try and translate the warnings as
I don't know exactly what an English version would say.). When I
double click on this warning a popup appears with the following,
insufficient, information:
Row:163, Zeichen:5, Error: "The object doesn't support this method",
Code:0, URL:http://members.chello.at/stephen.joung/testsite/
indexMW_Distance20.html

But the HTML file doesn't even have 163 rows and the js file has no
problems around row 163 that I can see.

For any of you who have experience of this I link to the html and js
pages in the hope that you can help find the problem.

Correct

function load() {
linkA= readCookie('linka');
linkB= readCookie('linkb');

to

function load() {
var linkA = readCookie('linka');
var linkB = readCookie('linkb');

that should help. Currently you are trying to assign to linkA/linkB
which are HTML element objects in IE's DOM.

Many thanks Martin, that was indeed the problem.

Best regards, Steve.
