(or how can i fix this error :P) If more information is needed, I'll try my best to provide. javascript internet-explorer-8 share|improve this question asked Jun 17 '11 at 12:15 Dennis Martinez 2,46472947 Is your data coming from the database is in a small nos only ? –Nirmal Jun 17 '11 at 12:23 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted It looks like document.getElementById(tableName) is not finding the table which you're expecting, and so it returns null. null.rows is not valid, and so there's an error there. I'd recommend splitting that line into two and checking that the element is found before continuing: var table = document.getElementById(tableName), rows; if (table) { rows = table.rows; } else { alert("Couldn't find table with id: " + tableName); } share|improve this answer answered Jun 17 '11 at 12:19 nickf 287k146520629 Ah that is exactly what is going on, the table is being created dynamically using jquery, and then the container was sliding down with results on the table, I am calling the pagination code in the slidedown, figuring it would find the table, but I'll have to over look my code. Thanks! –Dennis Mart

He said he shut off all the security settings. I also found some info about Vista screwing up things but haven't heard back from him on whether he is using it. dc_dalton 2009-06-03 17:51:48 UTC #4 Sure enough, he is using Vista ... UGH crmalibu 2009-06-03 17:53:12 UTC #5 Break your code up into many lines so the line number in the error message is more specific. 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
fine, but when others ran it on their computers using the same version of IE, they got an "Object Required" javascript error. I discovered (eventually) that, if the response to the XML HTTP request does not have Content-Type "text/xml", then MSXML does not instantiate the responseXML member of the XMLHTTPRequest object, although it will instantiate the responseText member - see the MSXML2 API spec. Once I had fixed the server-side code to return the correct Content-Type, it worked. As an item of good-practice, you should probably include an "Accept: text/xml" header in the request, to be on the safe side. However, the story doesn't quite end there. I also ran into some subtle HTTP proxy and caching issues that I don't fully understand. If you try the above fix, and change your server-side code to return "Content-Type: text/xml" in the response headers, but are still having problems, you should run a test script to check the response headers that your AJAX application is actually receiving. You can get a dump of all the response headers by called the getAllResponseHeaders() method of the XMLHTTPRequest object. I found that, even after I had fixed the server-side code, my AJAX application was still receiving a mysterious "text/html" response on some computers, although this problem disappeared when I fiddled with the HTTP proxy settings in IE. The problem also disappeared when I tunnelled the request through Nettool. As I said, I don't fully understand what's going on, but you might want to clear all temporary internet files in IE before retrying your app, and you might want to include suitable HTTP headers in your XMLHTTPRequest to avoid receiving cached representations. You might also want to include suitable HTTP headers in the server response to prevent caching. As an aside, I initially thought that the problem was something to do with the fact that my server-side component
