JavaScript - Script Help With Error For A Newbie

I'm trying to render 14 same sized images on a webpage using a Javascript, I've used in the past, but now can't seem to get it to work. Getting a Syntax Error. On Page http://www.newenglandonline.net/index.fix.html

The ERROR appears to be on the following; line 270: var imageDir = ;

[CODE]


<script type="text/javascript">


(function() {





var rotator = document.getElementById(rotator);


var imageDir = ;




var delayInSeconds = 3;








var images = [Cannon_top.jpg,Mount-Washington-Summer.jpg,Mount-Washington-Winter.jpg,Boston_Charles.jpg,Boston_Harbor.jpg,Boston_Harbor_night.jpg,Zakim Bridge.jpg,Edgartown.jpg,GayHeadLighthouse.jpg,HighlandLight.jpg,Newport.jpg,Bridgeport.jpg,Eastpoin tLight.jpg];











var num = 0;




var changeImage = function() {


var len = images.length;





rotator.src = imageDir + images[num++];


if (num == len) {





num = 0;


}





};


setInterval(changeImage, delayInSeconds * 1000);





})();


</script>

[CODE]

Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am having problems with the following script

Code:

if (name == "") {
          $("label#name_error").show();  
		 return false; }
		  	
       	if(!emailReg.test(email) || email == "") {
			$("label#email_error").show();
		return false; }	 
			 
		if (phone == "") {  
          	$("label#phone_error").show(); 
		return false; }

Well in fact it works fine it validates the first one and then the 2nd then the third. Which is all good but i wanted to take it one step further and making it check all 3. I have tried multiply different solutions to just have more problems.

Thanks in advance for any help.

For some reason in IE this script

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function SelectDisplayDiv(pointer){var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('hiddenDiv');for(var i =0; i < divs.length; ++i){divs[i].style.display = "none";} document.getElementById(pointer).style.display = 'block';}//]]>
</script>

is saying "Object doesn't support this method or property" But this script
Code:

function SelectDisplayDiv(pointer){var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('hiddenDiv');for(var i =0; i < divs.length; ++i){divs[i].style.display = "none";} document.getElementById(pointer).style.display = 'block';}

*almost the exact same thing, just not written to the canvas by code, hard coded rather- does not.

What does that error mean? Is this an IE thing?

Hi folks, I'm stumped on a bit of code that is generating errors in IE. The code works fine in Firefox.

The code file (logo_shimmer.js):

Code:

function LogoShimmer(siteLogo, gleamImg)
{
	var logoPos = [];
	var gleam;
	var isHovering = false;
	var logoWidth;
	var logoHeight;

	var moveGleam = function(isStart)
	{
		if ((isStart && gleam.style.left != logoPos[0] - logoWidth + "px") || isHovering)
		{
			return;
		}

		if (parseInt(gleam.style.left) < logoPos[0] + (logoWidth / 2))
		{
			gleam.style.left = parseInt(gleam.style.left) + 6 + "px";
			if (parseInt(gleam.style.left) > logoPos[0])
			{
				var clip = logoWidth - (parseInt(gleam.style.left) - logoPos[0]);
				gleam.style.clip = "rect(0px "+clip+"px "+logoHeight+"px 0px)";
			}
			setTimeout(function(){moveGleam(false);}, 10);
		}
		else
		{
					//alert(logoWidth + ' ' + logoPos[0] + ' ' + logoPos[1]);
					//alert(typeof logoPos[0]);
					//alert(typeof logoWidth);
					//alert(logoPos[0] - logoWidth);
					//alert(logoPos[0] - logoWidth + "px");
					//alert(gleam.style.left);
					//alert(logoPos[0] + (logoWidth / 2));
			gleam.style.left = (logoPos[0] - logoWidth) + "px";
					//alert(gleam.style.left);
			gleam.style.clip = "auto";
			isHovering = true;
		}
	};

	var findPos = function(obj)
	{
		var curleft = curtop = 0;
		if (obj.offsetParent)
		{
			do
			{
				curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
				curtop += obj.offsetTop;
			}
			while (obj = obj.offsetParent);
		}
		return [curleft,curtop];
	};

	var constructor = function()
	{
		var logo = siteLogo;
		logoWidth = logo.offsetWidth;
		logoHeight = logo.offsetHeight;
		logoPos = findPos(logo);
		logo.onmouseover = function()
		{
			moveGleam(true);
		};
		logo.onmouseout = function()
		{
			isHovering = false;
		};
		window.onresize = function()
		{
			logoWidth = logo.offsetWidth;
			logoHeight = logo.offsetHeight;
			logoPos = findPos(logo);
			gleam.style.left = (logoPos[0] - logoWidth) + "px";
			gleam.style.top = logoPos[1] + "px";
		};

		if (!document.getElementById('shimmer_gleam'))
		{
			gleam = document.createElement('img');
			gleam.id = "shimmer_gleam";
			gleam.src = 'http://' + window.location.hostname + gleamImg;
			document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(gleam);
			gleam.style.left = (logoPos[0] - logoWidth) + "px";
			gleam.style.top = logoPos[1] + "px";
		}
	};
	constructor();
}

...which generates this error (only in IE) when a new instance of LogoShimmer is created:

Quote:
SCRIPT87: Invalid argument.
logo_shimmer.js, line 37 character 4
I have narrowed down the problem to the Document Mode that the code follows in IE 9. If you set the Document Mode to IE 7, then the code generates the above error (the way I currently have it). But if you set Document Mode to IE 9, then the code works OK.

FYI: My site must run in IE 7 Document Mode because it is an older site. I do this with the following meta tag:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Can anyone see how to eliminate this error in IE 9 when it is set to IE 7 Document Mode? Thanks.

i am getting error in document.createElement('input')





index1 = {
init: function()
{
var but=document.getElementById('button1');
index1.addEvent(but,'onClick',fun1,false);
},

fun1: function(e)
{
var bo=document.getElementById('body1');
var in=document.createElement('input');
in.type="button";
in.value="songs";
in.id="song";

bo.appendChild(in);

}

}
index1.addEvent(window,'load',index.init,false);

I was hoping someone might be able to help me find an error in this script. I am pretty sure there is an error on line 9, but not sure. Any help is appreciated!

PHP Code:

Hi,

I am using the below code to calculate the age of a child from DOB. Criteria is as of 09/01/2010 (for the school year 2010-11). Even though the script seems to working fine in some cases the age calculations are wrong. Can some please tell what is wrong with the code.

For ex: DOB 12/20/1999 the age should be 10 as if 09/01/2010. However the age is calculated as 11 years.

Code:

Function Row_Inserting(rs)
If Not EW_DEBUG_ENABLED Then On Error Resume Next
DIM ChildAge, fromDate
fromDate=CDate("09/01/2010")
ChildAge = DateDiff("d",rs("DOB"),fromDate)
If ChildAge <= (Cint("1095")) Then
CancelMessage="Your child is too young to attend our classes. Please register after your child has reached pre-K."
Row_Inserting = False
Else
rs("Age")= DateDiff("YYYY",rs("DOB"),Date())
Row_Inserting = True
End If
End Function

Any pointers .. Thanks
Vinny

Hi all,

Trying to use a small bit of script to slide open and closed a div.
Copied it from another page where I have it working just fine. Coding in coldfusion.

When clicked, nothing happens, and firebug pulls an error of DC_ShowDeptStaff is undefined.

Script is:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	function DC_ShowDeptStaff(){
		if( document.getElementById("testdiv").style.display=="none" ) {
			Effect.BlindDown("testdiv"); 
			 return false;
		} else {
			Effect.SlideUp("testdiv");  return false;
		}
	}
	</script>

Call is:
Code:

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="DC_ShowDeptStaff()" return false;>See All Staff in this Department</a>

Full code is:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	function DC_ShowDeptStaff(){
		if( document.getElementById("testdiv").style.display=="none" ) {
			Effect.BlindDown("testdiv"); 
			 return false;
		} else {
			Effect.SlideUp("testdiv");  return false;
		}
	}
	</script>

Hello everyone,

I have question that I believe is an easy fix for one of you in here.
I have read that many people in here have similar questions but I can still not figure my error out.

The error is as follows...
'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 34
Char: 4
Code: 0
URL: (jonasm.com/gray/)

Below is the script I believe the error is referring too.

Any ideas? ANy feed back is appreciated.

Thx,
Jonas

Hi Im alot stuck at the moment so if anyone can help resolve the issues i'm having I would be very grateful!

if you go to http://love2-create.com and click on the orange "view profile" link about halfway down the left hand column, a tab opens showing a profile with a small picture gallery at the bottom, this gallery works fine in firefox and google chrome, however in safari it works sometimes but not always and in IE it usually works on the first time the page is loaded but then when the page is refreshed and the profile link is clicked I get an Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object on line 60,

the lines in question look like this:

Code:

buildcontentdivs:function(setting){
	var alldivs=document.getElementById(setting.id).getElementsByTagName("div")
	for (var i=0; i<alldivs.length; i++){
		if (this.css(alldivs[i], "contentdiv", "check")){ //check for DIVs with class "contentdiv"
			setting.contentdivs.push(alldivs[i])
				alldivs[i].style.display="none" //collapse all content DIVs to begin with
		}
	}
},

Does anyone know why this may be, and how it can possibly work sometimes but not always?? its totally got me baffled so if anyone can help I would very very much appreciate it, please let me know if you need any other details about the site etc from me.

Regards,

Keir

If you're reading this with intent to help- thank's; lol I know the title is terrifying... the explanation is a bit more

So first a few constraints/givens:
This is an WebApp on a client comp
It is on a closed network so I cannot link the page
The app is essentially a spaghetti work of code
The entire thing is written with javascript (the running joke is it was AJAX before there was AJAX)
It is limited to IE7 (gov controlled)

Problem: Randomly this fun error started popping up and I am trying to figure out if it is a script error or DB error. Usually when this monstrosity throws a DB error it gives it in a fun little screen (no custom error handling that we know of). The page attempts to "load" (and by load I mean fire another script to "load" another tab) and this little pop-up throws
Quote:
["Windows Internet Explorer"]
| |
| |
| |
| |
| [ OK ] |
If you envision that as a little windows message box it would have the title and then inside the box, absolutely no information, it's completely blank save a large yellow ! triangle and an "ok" box.

I've looked through and through in the event logs for the machine and have found nothing. What I am trying to figure out is, using developer tools- is there a way to find out if/what script threw the error without setting any breakpoints? Can't really set the break points bc have no clue where to put them and there are around 30 scripts calling more scripts and bouncing back and forth btw scripts.

In short, it is a nightmare.
