It is a good idea to read the FAQ.

In particular:
http://jibbering.com/faq/#posting

| Use the Subject: line to show the type of problem you
| have but include the question in the body as well.

WRT your question, it appears that you are calling getBoxObjectFor and
this is causing an error. The error message you've posted indicates
that you should instead use getBoundingClientRect. You should follow
this advice because:
1) it is worth a shot.
2) it is actually good advice ( I guarantee it).

But the thing is, i'm not using either of those functions. I thought
maybe a toolbar was and I shut all the add ons and toolbars for
firefox off, but the same problem exists. Something external is
calling this function. It doesn't exist anywhere in my code, and I
have no idea what its for.

you are retarded.

Maybe that you're using a firefox extension that cause that error.

That's exactly what I thought, so I turned them all off. Still got
the errors. But then i restarted my computer, and the error has gone
away.

Still, I've seen this error on many other pages. So I would still
like to know exactly where its coming from.

the errors. But then i restarted my computer, and the error has gone

Turning it off will make it go away as well.

Thank you, this makes more sense now.

You are not funny, but you are a douchebag. If you keep replying to
me, then you also have no life. now, **** off. Someone a LOT smarter
than you has solved the problem.

David Mark · Nov 20, 2008

Glad I could help!

Please learn how to post here. You've cited nothing in your response
and it is unclear to whom you are replying.

getBoxObjectFor should not be used. (You should have realized that
from the error message you copy pasted.)

When you receive an error message, read the message. It will normally
include the filename. Did the error message not contain the filename?

When posting to ask for help, it is important to mention which
browsers and versions the problem occurred in. This is well-covered in
the FAQ.

If you'd searched the web, you should have found the bug that Conrad
Lender posted:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340571

You must be a complete idiot because you think that insulting people that
you don't know and who don't know you but try to help you despite of that
and your utter cluelessness both in programming and posting would result in
more or better help for you.
