I strongly suggest using a javascript debugger. The mozilla suite has one on-board. If you're using IE you can download a script debugger at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp?frame=true

The line number isn't very helpful. This handy equation should help you to track down the real error, though:

| (IE_line_number) - (real_line_number) | = (how_desperately_you_want_it_fixed) * (how_many_seconds_past_deadline_you_are)^2 / (entropy_of_whole_script)'

Easy.

Darn, I was hoping there was a more helpful system. I suppose the line number at least tells you where things are breaking down, though the error could be many lines above it. *sigh*

It's been so long since I used IE for anything but quick testing!

It is the same thing on ie mac just a popup that tell you there is a error on line XX. Where XX is most of the time a line number that doesn't mean anything.

That's right, Suzanne. It's just an error report dialog, not a console. Not sure if it's PC-only. It's toggled somewhere in the Advanced options, iirc ("display scripting errors" or something).

No! I was sure there was a way to view errors in IE -- oh, yes, only through that error screen that pops up when you click on the errors, right? PC only? I think you have to enable it though.

by the way Suzanne there is no javascript console in IE mac or windows so debugging javascript in IE is a question of guess and trial.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks so much for your help.

I moved the file from another folder and I guess I did not changed it in the code.

Fixed it already. Thanks again and have a great day!

Well there's why -- you have it here: http://www.wizwerks.com/test/mm_menu.js

And in the code, you have it in a subfolder called /alternate/.

Change your code to reflect the actual location of the file.

Suzanne — Tue, 20 Jan 2004 21:07:40 +0000

The file linked in your code -- http://www.wizwerks.com/test/alternate/mm_menu.js is not on your server. Click the link to see for yourself?
