Object Required error

[abovetopsecret]

I have been getting this 'Object Required' error on each page and have found where it is coming from.

Its a script to help make the navigation work in IE i think, and here is the code below:

activateMenu = function(nav) {

    /* currentStyle restricts the Javascript to IE only */
	if (document.all && document.getElementById("nav").currentStyle) {  
        var navroot = document.getElementById("nav");
        
        /* Get all the list items within the menu */
        var lis=navroot.getElementsByTagName("LI");  
        for (i=0; i<lis.length; i++) {
        
           /* If the LI has another menu level */
            if(lis[i].lastChild.tagName=="UL"){
            
                /* assign the function to the LI */
             	lis[i].onmouseover=function() {	
                
                   /* display the inner menu */
                   this.lastChild.style.display="block";
                }
                lis[i].onmouseout=function() {                       
                   this.lastChild.style.display="none";
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
window.onload= function(){
    /* pass the function the id of the top level UL */
    /* remove one, when only using one menu */
    activateMenu("nav"); 
    activateMenu("vertnav"); 
}

Can anybody help find that error.

Thanks

Ok got it to go away by taking the .currentStyle off the back of line 4.

Didnt seem to have any problems after doing it, so will keep an eye on it, and see if all ok as time goes by.

Thanks

You can get JS code to run in IE-only by using the this conditional comment syntax:

// for Internet Explorer (using conditional comments)
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_win32)
    alert('IE!');
/*@end @*/

Hope this helps,

Hi BillyRayPreachersSon,

Will that code sit on each page that where that piece of JScript is called. As in sit inside the head tags is it?

Thanks

Anywhere inside a script block. You can use HTML conditional comments if you want to deliver different HTML (see the HTML forum FAQs).
