object expected

[oll3i]

i'm writing a menu in javascript.i want the links to change onmouseover and onmouseclick and of course onmouseout
but when i roll over the links i get object expected error

i defined javascript class as follows

function Menu(variables here){
assigning here

this.display = function(){
document.write here eg

document.write('<li><a href=\"path\" id=\"c\" onmouseover=\'changeLikStyleOn("c")\'></a>');
}

function changeLinkStyleOn(id)
var li= document.getElementById(id);
style definition here
}

function changeLinkStyleOut(id){
var li= document.getElementById(id);
style definition here
}
}


Thank You

It seems like this line:
document.write('<li><a href=\"path\" id=\"c\" onmouseover=\'changeLikStyleOn("c")\'></a>');
changeLIKStyleOn -> changeLiNkStyleOn

miss the 'n' of Link

no i ate one letter i typed that i didnt copy and paste cos the script is on different computer
in my script it is changeLinkStyleOn

Perhaps you could paste the real script, as if there's one typo, chances are there are more.

Working with non-real examples usually makes for painful debugging when the real code is finally presented... so why not save us both time & trouble and give the real code?

onMouseOver=\'[!]this.[/!]changeLinkStyleOn(this.id)\'

Get rid of the [tt]this.[/tt] at the start. The function [tt]changeLinkStyleOn[/tt] is not a member function of the anchor tag. Same goes for your [tt]onClick[/tt] and [tt]onMouseOut[/tt] handlers.
