Internet Explorer Object Required Error
7 and 8) ... on my machine in IE 8 it works fine, on my wife's machine (IE 7) it works fine, on my laptop (IE 6) it works fine ... and it works in EVERY other browser out there (FF, Opera, Safari, Flock)... The guy is making me crazy with this dumb thing and I am saying it has to be something on his machine because I see no problems, nor get any errors on any of my machines. Here is the code: function show_preview() { window.open("c_pop.php?to=" + document.getElementById('livesearch').value + "&sub=" + document.getElementById('subject').value + "&mess= " + document.getElementById('message').value, "Link", "toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=450,height=400,left=30,top=80"); } The error from IE is simple: "Object required" line 2 character 2 - the window.open is line 2 Anyone able to help me get this guy out of my hair cause I give up!

Instead of assuming an object has a property or method, test it before using it. if (window.open) { window.open(...); } var elem = document.getElementById('livesearch'); // elem could be null. trying to use a property of something that is null will throw an error if (elem) { // elem is not null, we can use the property elem.value; } Be aware that an element with the given id needs to exist at the time that script runs for getElementById() to be able to grab it. dc_dalton 2009-06-03 18:20:42 UTC #6 crmalibu said: Break your code up into many lines so the line number in the error message is more specific.

Otherwise, document.getElementById("inItemText") won't find the element, because it doesn't exist yet. Either put it at the end of the , or use window.onload: var inItemText; window.onload = function() { inItemText = document.getElementById("inItemText"); }; share|improve this answer answerhere for a quick overview of the site Help Center Detailed answers to any questions you might have Meta Discuss the workings and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15522584/object-required-error-message-with-ie-only policies of this site About Us Learn more about Stack Overflow the company Business Learn more about hiring developers or posting ads with us Stack Overflow Questions Jobs Documentation Tags Users Badges Ask Question x Dismiss Join the Stack Overflow Community Stack Overflow is a community of 4.7 million programmers, just like you, helping each other.
