Hello, I am doing some pretty complex array loops and passing of variables in a script that I am writing.... Works like a champ in IE, but I am getting the following error in NS6.2 and am not sure what to make of it... lib85 is the name of a function on line 64 but that is as far as my interpretation goes... Any input from you guys would greatly appreciated!

Code: 
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIDOMHTMLBodyElement.appendChild]"  nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Inetpub/GREGLA~1/scripts/X12_PU~1/scripts/nsie.js :: lib85 :: line 64"  data: no]

The function looks like this:

Code: 
function lib85(var13,var14){
    alert(var13+"--"+var14)
    var15=document.createElement("DIV");
    if(var13) var15.setAttribute("style",var13);
    if(var14) var15.innerHTML=var14;document.body.appendChild(var14);
    return var15;
}

The values that are being sent to the arguments are:

var13 =
Code: 
position:absolute;overflow:hidden; clip:rect(0,0,0,0);layer-background-color:#ffffff;visibility:hidden;background-color:#ffffff; z-index:100

var14 =
Code: 
<div id=&quot;divpump0_0&quot; class=&quot;clpump0&quot;><b>Fruit</b></div>

Really peculiar. I can't see wrong here. Try this :

function lib85()
{
alert(arguments[0], arguments[1])
}

maybe you have other variables called var13 and var14 somewhere else and there is a scope problem (this was a bug in IE4 but I didn't think I would see it in NS6).

Try renamming your arguments to something that means something :

function divCreation(style, innerHtml) Gary Haran

Well thanks any way....I ran an alert on that function in order to the values I posted above... I have a function and variable naming system that works really well for me...(abstraction promotes reusability)...I will keep troubleshooting...

Peace.

I removed everything that was unneeded. appendChild is not supported by NS4 so I removed anything that had to do with NS4. Also I made your div visible for testing purposes and found your div within a div a bit convoluted so I put a span inside. Coded with my coding convention as well cause I am so used to it.

<html>
<head>
<title>Appending to body</title>
<script>

function divCreator(style, content)
{
myDiv = document.createElement(&quot;DIV&quot;);

if(style)
{
myDiv.setAttribute(&quot;style&quot;, style);
}

myDiv.innerHTML = content || &quot;&quot;;

return document.body.appendChild(myDiv);
}

var13 = &quot;position:absolute; visibility:visible; background-color:#ffffff; z-index:100&quot;
var14 = &quot;<span id=divpump0_0 class=clpump0><b>Fruit</b></span>&quot;

</script>

</head>
<body onload=&quot;divCreator(var13, var14)&quot;>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps. Gary Haran

I don't see how a name like lib85 makes the divCreator function any better.

You are free to use whatever convention you like but to many people reading divCreator(style, content) tells a whole lot more than lib85(varxx, varxxx).

If ever you have lots of code and you want to create a second function that creates divs you will probably name it the same and see that hey you already have one!

Anyways it's your code. do as you wish :) Gary Haran
