JavaScript - Object Expected Error?

Hi,

I'm trying to use a form which is existent on one of my sites and try re-creating a similar form on another site for the exact same purpose. Here is the URL for the form on our website Cast Iron Cookware Depot.

I have everything duplicated but running into form validation errors. Right now without event entering any data into the form and also the verification code the form still gets submitted but ofcourse runs into "object expected" error at onsubmit="return validate(this);"> by IE Debugger.

Below is the total code and would appreciate if any of you gurus point out where the mistake is and also why the exact same code is working on one site is not working on this site. Thanks much in advance. Please help me!

Hi Chaps,

I'm still having problems with a Javascript 'Lookup' function.

Basically, I have a select menu 'Customer' which triggers a 3 JS functions, to populate 2 extra select menus.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
           $(document).ready(function(){
                $('#customer').change(function() {
                    var option=$(this).val();
					getCustContact(this);
					getCostCentreContact(this);
                    $.get('getCostCentre.php',{select:option},function(data){
                        $('#result').html(data).hide().fadeIn(1000);
                    });
                });
            });
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var ajax_CustContact=new Array();
function getCustContact(sel)
{
	var Customer=sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
	document.getElementById('custcontact').options.length = 0;
	if(Customer.length>0){
		var index=ajax_CustContact.length;
		ajax_CustContact[index]=new sack();
		ajax_CustContact[index].requestFile='getCustomerContact.php?custid='+Customer;
		ajax_CustContact[index].onCompletion=function(){createCustContact(index)};
		ajax_CustContact[index].runAJAX();
	}
}
function createCustContact(index)
{
	var obj=document.getElementById('custcontact');
	eval(ajax_CustContact[index].response);
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var ajax_CostCentreContact=new Array();
function getCostCentreContact(sel)
{
	var Customer=sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
	document.getElementById('costcentrecontact').options.length = 0;
	if(Customer.length>0){
		var index=ajax_CostCentreContact.length;
		ajax_CostCentreContact[index]=new sack();
		ajax_CostCentreContact[index].requestFile='getCostCentreContact.php?custid='+Customer;
		ajax_CostCentreContact[index].onCompletion=function(){createCostCentreContact(index)};
		ajax_CostCentreContact[index].runAJAX();
	}
}
function createCostCentreContact(index)
{
	var obj=document.getElementById('costcentrecontact');
	eval(ajax_CostCentreContact[index].response);
}
</script>


<select id="customer" name="FK_cust_id">
            <option value="">Select Customer</option>
            <option value="1">Customer A</option>
            <option value="2">Customer B</option>
</select>

<select id="custcontact" name="FK_contact_id">
            <option value="">--Select Customer First--</option>
</select>

<select id="costcentrecontact" name="FK_cost_centre_contact_id">
            <option value="">--Select Customer First--</option>
</select>

Using IE Developer Tools, during debugging, I get this error:
Quote:
Expected ';' Error
This relates to either:
Code:

eval(ajax_CustContact[index].response);

OR
Code:

eval(ajax_CostCentreContact[index].response);

(it's a bit random, as sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)

I have tried changing the 'custid' to 'custname' to check whether it was an integer causing the problem, but had the same problem.

If anyone can tell me where I am going wrong, I'd gladly give out a bit hi-5!

public classTestGeometricObject{
/** Main Method */
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Declare and initialize two geometric objects
GeometricObject geoObject1 = new Circle(5);
GeometricObject geoObject2 = new Rectangles(5,3);

System.out.println("The two objects have the same area? " +
equalArea(geoObject1, geoObject2));

//Display circle
displayGeometricObject(geoObject1);

//Display rectangle
displayGeometricObject(geoObject2);
}

/**A method for comparing */
public static boolean equalArea(GeometricObject object1,
GeometricObject object2) {
return object1.getArea()==object2.getArea();
}

/**A method for displaying a geometric object*/
public static void displayGeometricObject(GeometricObject object){
System.out.println();
System.out.println("The area is " + object.getArea());
System.out.println("The perimeter is " + object.getPerimeter());
}
}

I just noticed that my pseudo-streaming movie code causes an error with IE7.

I works fine with IE8, FireFox, Chrome... I have been looking on my own and found that it's likely a misplaced comma in my code, the other browser are debugging it, but IE7 will not. The error suggests it's where I have indicated below. I've tried removing the comma just after "about_us.jpg" and that causes the script to fail completely. Can anyone help me here, please?

Hi there,

I'm trying really hard to find the solution to this error I am getting in java. Im using blue j. I have a feeling its something other than just braces missing somewhere, I have looked carefully and I'm just having bad luck!! I cant proceed to the next stage of my code unless I get this bit perfected with no syntax errors. I really really appreciate someone helping me out.

Hey, I've been getting an error on my JavaScript code that says Expected ";". I'm new to JavaScript and I'm trying to use it to create a user interface that resizes like its zooming in and out when the window resizes.

I looked around my code and it looked like I put the semi-colons in all the right places. I know that JavaScript doesn't need Semi-Colons, but I like it for an organization purpose and from past experience, the Semi-Colons didn't mess it up. From past experience, I also know that when a JavaScript error comes up in IE, the cause isn't always what the error says.

Here's my code:

I know the code isn't perfect for the purpose, but I'd like to get past this error so that I can do testing before I continue.

When I run this program is says I have an object error (not found?) in line 2, I went over the program which I copied from a book over and over and not finding anything wrong... Help!!! thanks

Hi All,

I always get "Object Required" error when using IE (all IEs). No error when using FF.

Message: Object required
Line: 62
Char: 178
Code: 0
URI:

I am using WebFXTabPane JS and always get error on line 62 or 63. Below is the excerption for line 62 and 63:

}; WebFXTabPane.prototype.getSelectedIndex = function () { return this.selectedIndex;}; WebFXTabPane.prototype.addTabPage = function ( oElement ) { if ( !hasSupport() ) return; if ( oElement.tabPage == this )

return oElement.tabPage; var n = this.pages.length; var tp = this.pages[n] = new WebFXTabPage( oElement, this, n ); tp.tabPane = this; this.tabRow.appendChild( tp.tab ); if ( n == this.selectedIndex )

Thank you in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Jo

Hi,

I have an "Object Required" error that only appears in IE and refers to a js file that I got elsewhere, so I'm kind of lost as to how to debug it. The page (which works fine in Chrome and FF) is here and the error reported is:

Line: 7
Error: Object Required

Sometimes it doesn't pop an alert, but mostly it does.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi -

New to Javascript - new to the forum... Here's one that I don't understand:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

			fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
			myCollection = new Collection();

			function FindFiles()
			{
				var path = "c:\\files\\";
				var ext = ".csv";

				var files = new Enumerator (fso.GetFolder(path).Files); //Collect all files in path

				do
				{
					var file = files.item();


					if (file.Name.indexOf("_summary")<0) myCollection.add(file.Name,file.Type);


					files.moveNext();

				}

				while (!files.atEnd());

			}


			function Collection()
			{
				var collection = {};
				var order = [];

				this.add = function(property, value)
				{
					if(!this.exists(property))
					{
						collection[property]=value;
						order.push(property);
					}
				}

				this.exists = function(property)
				{
					return collection[property]!=null;
				}

			}

			function ListCollection()
			{
				var g = new Enumerator (myCollection);

				do
				{
					var colitem = g.item();
					g.moveNext();
				}

				while (!g.atEnd());

			}

		</script>

During execution, I get a "Object not a collection" error when I try to pass "MyCollection" to the Enumerator function. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Max

Hi,

I am getting an error on this code - sometimes! - and I'm not sure what it is. If I run this as is there is no error. If I add it into another page with other stuff it's ok for a while and then I get an error. So, I added my new page block my block to this code and waited for the error to appear so I could determine a conflict - but it was fine. And then a few clicks later the error.

This is the error in IE. In Firefox it seems to be fine lol.

Line 159
Char 3
'window.document.sendform.message_text' is null or not an object

Can someone make any suggestions?

Code:

 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  maxlen = 160;
  countLen();
	function countLen()
	{
		message_text = window.document.sendform.message_text.value;
		realLength = message_text.length;
		if (realLength>maxlen)
		{
			realLength = maxlen;
			window.document.sendform.message_text.value = message_text.substring(0,maxlen);
		}
		message_text = window.document.sendform.message_text.value;
		// del enter
    var m = message_text.match(/[\r\n]/);
    if (m !== null)
    {
        window.document.sendform.message_text.value = message_text.replace(/[\n\r]/g, '')
    }
		window.document.sendform.messlen.value=maxlen-realLength;
	}
	
</script>

 
 <cfset thismessage = "Hi, is this a start">
 
 
 
 <cfform action="step2.cfm" method="post" id="sendform" name="sendform">
 <cfoutput><textarea id="styled" name="message_text" onkeypress=countLen() onkeydown=countLen() onkeyup=countLen() onchange=countLen() onmouseover=countLen() rows="4">#thismessage#</textarea></cfoutput>
<table width="331" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="5"></td>
    <td width="26"><cfoutput>
      <input name="messlen" type="text" value="160" class="counterField" onFocus="this.form.message_text.focus();" /></cfoutput></td>
    <td width="300">characters remaining</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</cfform>

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Hi All,
I am using javascript to get the number of rows in my HTML Table by using below code:
Code:

var oRows = document.getElementById("HTMLTable").getElementsByTagName('tr');
var iRowCount = oRows.length;

Later I am using iRowcount in the FOR loop further in my code as below:

Code:

for(k=1; k<=iRowCount; k++)  {
............................
rest of code ...........
............................
}

This piece of code is working fine (i.e. it handles the functionalities which is needed) but it also opens a new browser window with the error message "Object Required".I have really no idead why this is happening.Can anyone suggest me the reason for this?

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to understand why I had an error, or why my solution worked.

In my HTML I had:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="Book.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="Book_TEST.js"></script>

Book.js said:

Code:

function Book(title, author)
{
		this.title	= title;
		this.author	= author;
}

Book.prototype.toString = function()
{ return '"' + this.title + '" by '+ this.author; };

var Book = new Book ("John", "Dough");
alert (Book); // displays "John Dough"

And, predictably, at this stage, the code worked.

Book.js said:
Code:

var myBook 	= new Book ("JavaScript Tutorials", "Herong Yang");

However, at this point the JavaScript would crash and I'd get an error
"Error: Book is not a constructor javascript."

I drove myself nuts trying to figure out why the code wasn't working at this later point.

Eventually, I copied another object:

Code:

/*
 * Person class
 */

/**
 * Person constructor
 * 
 * @param {String} first
 * 					The person's first name
 * @param {String} last
 * 					The person's last name
 */
function Person(first, last)
{
	this.first	= first;
	this.last	= last;
}

/**
 * Create a string representation of this object
 * 
 * @return {String} A string representation of this object
 */
Person.prototype.toString = function()
{
	return this.first + " " + this.last;
};

/*
var person = new Person ("John", "Dough");

alert (person); // displays "John Dough"

*/

and then used find and replace to swap {Person, first, last} with {Book, title, author}, resulting in:

Code:

/*
 * Book class
 */

/**
 * Book constructor
 * 
 * @param {String} title
 * 					The Book's title 
 * @param {String} author
 * 					The Book's author
 */
function Book(title, author)
{
		this.title	= title;
		this.author	= author;
}

/**
 * Create a string representation of this object
 * 
 * @return {String} A string representation of this object
 */
Book.prototype.toString = function()
{ return '"' + this.title + '" by '+ this.author; };

var Book = new Book ("John", "Dough");

alert (Book); // displays "John Dough"

Now, the code worked fine in both script. (i.e., no more error.)

So far as I can tell, the only differences between the first and next version of Book.js are the comments and the whitespace.

Am I missing something? Can the comments or whitespace somehow effect the logic with which this code has been executing?

If I get an error like this again, is there an easier/better way to fix it than to essentially retype the code?


Thanks in advance for helping me to understand this.
