Javascript Error

[JUSTDONTKNOW]

I am trying to run 2 different javascripts on the same page. One is a mouseover text menu and the other is a mouseover tooltip script. The error that comes up is: this.wref is not an object

Both scripts have a function command with one referring to wref and the other referring to writeref. Can you help??

this.wref should be defined unless it is assigned by another already defined variable.

So, somewhere you should see:

var this.wref = .....

if you do, then find the reference for this.wref (what it is assigned to) and start tracing back.

Hey Chad...thanks for the reply.............i had a look at the script and i can see that wref refers to bw.dom in both scripts.......could this cause a clash in the scripts??.......if it does then what do i have to do?

 

[inlandpac]

bw.dom? this sounds like an IE specific script (or on the server side, an XML parsing application).

What exactly is this dw.dom?
