Object Expected: Javascript/HTML

Hello,
I keep getting the error "Object Expected: Line 28 Char 1". That line is my button line ("BUTTON ONCLICK= "Connect") I've checked everything I could think of, but it's still not rendering correctly. I need some more eyes to see what I don't

Code:

tsumji,
I did change that line, but I still get the same error message. In addition I get another message:

[COLOR=green yellow]Line 46 Char 5 telnetdlx is not declared[/color]

Code:

[COLOR=blue]
	[COLOR=red]<script type = "text/javascript">[/color]
	dim telnetdlx;
	with (telnetdlx)
		{
			TerminalEmulation = 1; //use VT1000 Emulation
			AutoSize = true; //resize to fit
		}

		function Connect()
		{
			with (document.myform)
			{
				if (telnetdlx.State ==0)
				{
					//connect
					telnetdlx.Connect ("volmrs","23","Telnet");
					telnetdlx.Login= "root";
					telnetdlx.Password = "mci";
					//telnetdlx.Command = "shutuser" + ddCoNo.value + textUInit.value + ";
				}
				else
				{
					//disconnect
					Telnetdlx.Disconnect();
				}//if
			}//with
		}//function
	</script>
	<script for= "telnetdlx" event = "statechange()" language= "JavaScript">
		document.myform.textResult.value = telnetdlx.StateText(telnetdlx.State);
	</script>
</html>[/color]

An activex component is being used. The object points to LPK (licence) file, understood to be installed on the users system already. That's fine. However, you need the workhorse component actually load up, something like:
[tt] <object id="telnetdlx" classid="..." codebase="..."></object">[/tt]
You have to determine those unfilled data from the manufacturer (wdo). On that, I cannot help. You've to check out with them.

If the script is yours, you should know better.

Another small problem on this line.
>Telnetdlx.Disconnect();
[tt]telnetdlx.Disconnect();[/tt]

This

Code:

dim telnetdlx;

is VBScript, not Javascript. That does NOT define telnetdlx.

Try

Code:

var telnetdlx;
