printing page closes IE after error message

photoxprt1868 · May 22, 2006

Hello,

I'm disecting a page which closes every time you try to print it. It gives that error that says "There's been an error and IE needs to close now". The only thing fishy I see with the page is an excessive number of div tags and this java script at the end

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
      var menuitem1 = new menu(7,1,"hidden");
			var menuitem2 = new menu(7,2,"hidden");
			var menuitem3 = new menu(7,3,"hidden");
			var menuitem4 = new menu(7,4,"hidden");
			var menuitem5 = new menu(7,5,"hidden");
			var menuitem6 = new menu(7,6,"hidden");
			var menuitem7 = new menu(7,7,"hidden");
    // -->
    </script>

Can some one tell me what things I should look at to track down the cause of this error.

thank you

actually,

fishy thing number two

this function

Code:

function closesubnav(event){
  if ((event.clientY <48)||(event.clientY > 107)){
    for (var i=1; i<= numofitems; i++){
      var shutdiv =eval('menuitem'+i+'.thediv');
			shutdiv.style.visibility='hidden';
		}  
	}
}

is being called on

<body onmousemove="closesubnav(event);">

really weird...don't know what the purpose of this is

I can't see why those would cause a printing error. However, if you think that the above code might be the cause, why not simply remove it for yourself and see if it cures the problem?

Hope this helps,
Dan
