Undefined Error Message 1

[Bastien]

I have the below function which is called from another function. I keep getting the message that 'xOffset is undefined', yet its clearly being passed in when I alert it out.

The call is from another function and looks like this:

  RemoveTab('tractor','0');

function RemoveTab(sDiv, x0ffset)
{
   var thisTabDiv   = 'tabtab'+ sDiv + xOffset;
   var thisDataDiv  = 'data' + sDiv + xOffset;
   var thisShowTab  = 'tabtab'+ sDiv + parseInt(xOffset + 1);
   var thisShowData = 'data' + sDiv + parseInt(xOffset+1);

   alert(thisTabDiv +'\n'+ thisDataDiv+'\n'+thisShowTab +'\n'+ thisShowData);
   document.getElementById(thisTabDiv).innerHTML = '';
   document.getElementById(thisDataDiv).innerHTML = '';
   document.getElementById(thisShowTab).style.display = 'inline';
   document.getElementById(thisShowData).className = "SelectedTab";

   showMessage = "<span style='color:red;'><strong>Record Deleted</strong></span>";
}

I seem to be missing a clue this morning, so if someone could supply me with one, I'd appreciate it.

I wish my computer would do what I want it to do,
instead of what I tell it to do...

Hi
[ul]
[li]Are you sure the error occurs in the RemoveTab() function ?[/li]
[li]Are you sure the called RemoveTab() function is the same you posted ?[/li]
[/ul]
Even if xOffset is [tt]undefined[/tt], nobody cares about that in the code you posted.

Yes, on line 71, which is the first line in the function. and yes its the same function

Hi

Are you sure there are no other things in that document with that xOffset name ?

Looks like your function is expecting a variable called x'zero'ffset and then you try to use a variable named x'O'ffset.

In other words x[red]0[/red]ffset is different than X[red]O[/red]ffset.

Probably just a typo.

vacunita - good eye! I had to put the code in MS Word where I could see the text in Arial and the difference quickly became apparent.

Not my post, but I'm giving you a star for quickly picking up what's likely the root cause.

Damn keyboard...damn fat fingers

thanks guys.

Thanks for the star. I noticed it when I was about to copy he code, the "O" in the function declaration variable looked narrower than the one inside the function. I realized it was a Zero and not a Oh.
