IE not loading script?
in [JavaScript]
|
From: Tony on 23 Apr 2008 02:33 I have a select with an onchange - it works find in Firefox, but in IE 6 I get an error: Object Expected. I have simplified things drastically, and still get the error. The HTML: <select name="viewtrain" id="viewtrain" onchange="viewDetails(this);"> <option value="1">Train 1</option> <option value="2">Train 2</option> <option value="3">Train 3</option> </select> and the javascript: function viewDetails(sel) { alert('hi'); } For some reason, this fails. But if I replace viewDetails with an alert: <select name="viewtrain" id="viewtrain" onchange="alert(this);"> everything works correctly. For some reason, it seems that IE isn't 'seeing' viewDetails. - OK I did a bit more checking before posting, and it seems that the js file isn't loading at all - but only in IE. I can't imagine why. here's the source: <script type="text/javascript" src="js/CalendarPopup.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/details.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> ACTIVE_SECTION = 'Late Trains Details'; </script> The stuff before and after works fine. Only details.js is not loading - and only in IE. I'm stumped on this one...

Finally figured it out. There was a variable named 'class' in the file. Apparently, IE doesn't like that. Changing it to 'classname' fixed the problem.

No ECMAScript-compliant engine likes it if you use reserved words for identifiers. PointedEars -- Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript. -- Richard Cornford, cljs, <f806at$ail$1$8300dec7(a)news.demon.co.uk>
