Hi,

I am trying to convert a vbscript to Javascript. Its been a while since I've done Javascript and for the life of me cannot figure out whats wrong with this code.

Here are the questions....

1. I'm forced to put the startup function in the body section or i get an object required error.

2. Once i put the the startup function there that part works. Then i put in the buildconfig function and of course the object required is back no matter what i do. What am i missing?

Here is the code:

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>4117 Configurator</title>

<script language="Javascript">
Var memCost, driveCost, OSCost, warrantyCost, iTotal, sTotal, wTotal, memDigit, memDesc, driveDigit, driveDesc, OSDigit, OSDesc;
</script>

</head>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" onLoad="Javascript:setup()">
<form method="POST" action="tbd.html" name="configurator">

<script language="Javascript">
//*********** setup *********************************************
// This sub sets all the variables to thier default values

function setup()
{


window.alert("setup");
document.configurator.catNo.value = "4117T-1400-512-CDW-XP";
document.configurator.mfgNo.value = "4117-0000000002001";
memCost = 0;
driveCost = 0;
OSCost = 0;
warrantyCost = 0;
iTotal = 3995;
sTotal = iTotal + ".00";
document.configurator.lprice.value = sTotal;
memDigit = "0";
memDesc = "-512";
driveDigit = "0";
driveDesc = "-CDW";
OSDigit = "2";
OSDesc = "-XP";
document.configurator.rMem[0].checked = 1;
document.configurator.rDrive[0].checked = 1;
document.configurator.rOS[0].checked = 1;
document.configurator.rWarranty[0].checked = 1;

//Update part number
call buildConfig();
}

//************** end setup *************************************

//***** buildConfig *******************************************************************
//builds the catalog and part number corresponding to what options are selected.
function buildConfig()
{
Var Cat;
Var PN;

window.alert("buildconfig");
Cat = "4117T-1400" + memDesc + driveDesc + OSDesc;
document.configurator.catNo.value = Cat

PN = "4117-000" + memDigit + "00" + driveDigit + "00" + OSDigit + "001";
document.configurator.mfgNo.value = PN;

}
//*************************************************************************************

</script>

the text boxes mfgNo and catNo exists within the form configurator.....

That function refers to some elements of the document. If it runs when those elements are not created yet, it throws an error. The solution is what you figured out.

No [tt]call[/tt] keyword in JavaScript.
Code: 
        //Update part number
        [red][s]call[/s][/red] buildConfig();

Thanks for the fast reply Feherke.

I can handle putting the startup function in the body, but i still get an error with the buildconfig function even when not using the call keyword. I even commented out the call all together. Just having the buildconfig function in the page causes the object rquired error.... its crazy...

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion again. I tried that and still have the error.

Here is the full page code:

window.alert(document.configurator.elements[0].name)


window.alert("setup");
document.configurator.catNo.value = "4117T-1400-512-CDW-XP";
document.configurator.mfgNo.value = "4117-0000000002001";
