declare var outside the function

[nivini]

I have this code

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var newPic = NULL;
var FSO;
function OpenPic(strPath){
var newPath=strPath;
var fullPath;
fullPath =newPath.replace("..","");
newPath="F:/web/webserver/[URL unfurl="true"]www/Pages"[/URL] + fullPath;
 FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

if  (FSO.FileExists(newPath)==true)
{
newPic=window.open(strPath,"NULL" ,"width=400, height=300, toolbar=no, resizable=no, menubar=no, top=0, left=0");
}
else
{
newPic=window.open("NoPic.htm","NULL" ,"width=400, height=300, toolbar=no, resizable=no, menubar=no, top=0, left=0");
};


};

function CloseWin(){
newPic.close();
};
-->
</script>

the onmouseover trigers the OpenWin function, and the onmouseout , trigers the CloseWin function.
The problem is that it all works fine on my machine, but not on the web, there i get an error says that newPic is null or undefined,
What is the problem with this code?
many thanks

It sounds like you're calling the close function before newPic is populated. Try this:

function CloseWin(){
	try {
		newPic.close();
	} catch(e) {}
};

Hope this helps,
Dan

I forgot to mention, when the code was:

script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var newPic 
function OpenPic(strPath)
{
newPic=window.open(strPath,"NULL" ,"width=400, height=300, toolbar=no, resizable=no, menubar=no, top=0, left=0");
};

function CloseWin()
{
newPic.close();
};
-->
</script>

it all workwd fine on the web, but when i added the fso object the problems began, what could be the resson for this?
