For the life of me I can't find my typing error or programming error here...

I am calling the script like this.
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/global.js"></script>
in the head..
then
Code: 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">email_custom('emaillink','mydomain.com','','','me')</script>
inline.

the global.js reads:
Code: 
function email_custom(class,domain,text,subject,to){
	if (text){
		text=text
	}else{
		text=to+"@"+domain
	}
	if (subject){subject="?SUBJECT="+subject};
		var email="<a href='";
		email += "mailto:";
		email += to;
		email += "@"+domain;
		if(subject){email += subject;}
		email += "'";
		if(class){email += " class='"+class+"'"};
		email += ">";
		email += text;
		email +="</a>";
		
		document.write(email);
}

I keep getting Object expected line 59. Line 59 is the call to the script
Code: 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">email_custom('emaillink','mydomain.com','','','me')</script>

I'm stumped.
thanks all.

This works fine for me:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function email_custom(class,domain,text,subject,to){
    if (text){
        text=text
    }else{
        text=to+"@"+domain
    }
    if (subject){subject="?SUBJECT="+subject};
        var email="<a href='";
        email += "mailto:";
        email += to;
        email += "@"+domain;
        if(subject){email += subject;}
        email += "'";
        if(class){email += " class='"+class+"'"};
        email += ">";
        email += text;
        email +="</a>";

        document.write(email);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">email_custom('emaillink','mydomain.com','','','me')</script></body>
</html>
My guess is that the path to your js file path is wrong so the object in this case your "email_custom" is not loading.


recheck your path
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="[COLOR=red]../js/global.js"[/color]></script>

FUny thing is - I did just the same thing you did for testing - I plopped it all in the same file and ouila - it didn't work.

I will cut and paste your code and see what I get.

Interestingly - It was simply not working in IE 7. It works fine in Firefox - which I test in usually - but I switched over to IE on this one when I started getting another error.

I am stumped :)

The oddest thing is that I swore I tested that exact issue last night.

I just tried it again and it is working fine. Thanks for all the input everyone!
