OBJECT EXPECTED ERROR.

J

jc

I'm trying the below and getting OBJECT EXPECTED error in
javascript.

On my aspx page I have this java script block:


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function SearchText(selectit)
{
document.getElementById('TextBox_Body').createTextRange().find(selectit);
}
</script>

In vb.net I'm dynamically generate javascript

<script language='JavaScript'>
SearchText('car');
</script>

using this code and passing it the string "car":

Public Function SelectText(ByVal SearchString As String) As String
Return "<script language='JavaScript'>" + vbCrLf +
"SearchText('" + SearchString + "');" + vbCrLf + "</script>"
End Function

I force that block to run as follows and I understand this is not
javascript, but the problem appears to be with my rendered code. Below
is how I pass :

ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType, "client",
pkb.SelectText(TextBox_Search1.Text))




Thanks for any help or information.

What you are doing server-side is irrelevant to client side: these are
two absolutely unrelated processes. To see the source of the error
generate the output page which gives you the error, select View >
Source (if IE), copy-paste here. If the page is too big or contains a
sensitive information then you may have to make a separate minimum
case still demonstrating your problem.

True. Thanks. What's the best way to troubleshoot javascript?



getting the error on this line:

SearchText('car');

sorry.. let me simplify. for some reason my serverside drops the
javascript block inside the form block.. i don't think this is the
problem, but here a simple test that is also failing.

The original source:

<html>
<head>
<title>
Javascript testing
</title>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="_Blank" id="form1">


<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
SearchText("test");
</script>


<input name="TextBox_Body" type="text" value="this is a test"
id="TextBox_Body" />
</form>


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function SearchText(selectit)
{
document.getElementById('TextBox_Body').createTextRange().find(selectit);
}
</script>


</body>
</html>

... a view source places it back on the bottom

<html>
<head>
<title>
Javascript testing
</title>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="_Blank" id="form1">


<input name="TextBox_Body" type="text" value="this is a test"
id="TextBox_Body" />
</form>


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function SearchText(selectit)
{
document.getElementById('TextBox_Body').createTextRange().find(selectit);
}
</script>

<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
SearchText("test");
</script>



</body>
</html>


giving me the object expected on line 20

document.getElementById('TextBox_Body').createTextRange().find(selectit);
