Context Menu error: 'length' is null or not an object

When we run some of our reports (BI 7.0) and right click on the table to display the context menu we get a javascript error in the bottom left of Internet Explorer. The context menu doesn't appear.
Once you expand the error is 'length' is null or not an object. It doesn't affect all the reports in fact so far we've only discovered 2 reports with this problem although there may be more.
The reports with problems have had their own individual web templates developed. We haven't developed much of our own Javascript via the script web item and definitely none that would affect the context menu. The only code we have opens help pages/useful web pages/other apps etc. via buttons.
None of the reports shows an error when you validate in the WAD software.
We are currently using IE6 (upgrading to IE8 soon) and we have recently applied SP21 on the Java Stack.

Hi Fred
Did SAP come back with an OSS note to correct this issue. I am not finding anything in the Service marketplace.
Thanks
Adrian

4.0 Calendar link 'length is null or not an object'

After upgrading to 4.0 earlier this week, we now have a problem with our calendars that were built in 3.1.1. Whenever I click on an event link in IE i get the error "length is null or not an object". When I click the link from Firefox I get the error "b is undefined" from the apex_widget_4_0.js file. After reading the user guide for 4.0, I deleted the region and re-added it with the same SQL, but I get the same error.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi,
It will be great if you can point to the url where you are facing this issue maybe a url from apex.oracle.com. The comment like clicking on event is throwing an error is confusing, here which event you are talking about.
I created a calendar in apex.oracle.com of various types SQL Calendar, SQL Calendar with Partial Page Refresh as display type, Easy Calendar , Easy Calendar with partial Page refresh as Display Type and all these calendar provided with day and column link and did not get any issues as specified.
It will really helpful if you can provide a URL in apex.oracle.com or any other site with the specified issue and also with clear explanation of what "clicking on event" means here
thanks

APEX 4.0.2 Error on Master Detail Pages - 'length' is null or not an object

Greetings,
We just upgraded to APEX 4.0.2.00.07 this past weekend. Now a JavaScript error occurs when Master Detail pages are opened in IE 8. The error is - 'length' is null or not an object. I do not have a page item named length on any of these pages.
The error does not occur in Chrome or Firefox, but the Add button on the detail portion of the page simply doesn't work.
The page works when creating the master portion of the page. After the master row is created the region to add detail rows appears and the error occurs. So, the error appears to be with that part of the page.
We use an Inactive Date column to soft delete rows in the detail portion of the page, so the detail regions have a date column, just in case this column is the problem.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks, Tony

I too had this same problem and determined that the problem was due to a missing underscore character between the literal "report" and the report Id in the report template.
I guess some themes include this underscore and some don't.
I had to debug the apex_4.0.js to determine this - not easy as it's not nicely formatted.
It only seems to stop Pagination working in an Updatable Tabular Form Report.
Edit the Report Template. Go to the "Before Rows" region and edit the Before Rows text box. Locate where it defines the report id and insert an underscore between report#REGION_ID#
Previous
<div id="report#REGION_ID#">
Fixed
<div id="report_#REGION_ID#">

Please help!! error: __EventTarget is null or not an object

Hi,
I am developing the business charts with dropdownlist in ASP.NET for our new plumtree portal.
The portlets are working perfectly in the VS.NET dev environment, However, whenever I change the selection in the dropdownlist, it doesn't post back but I got an IE error which appears with a little yellow warning sign on the lower left corner of the IE window, which means, the error is on client side.
The error : '_EVENTTARGET' is null or not an object .
I have a feeling that there's something wrong with the javascript behind the sceen when ASP.NET controls try to plug in Plumtree web pages. Since I don't know how to access those Plumtree javascripts, can someone help me out here!!
(If I right click on the web page to get the source code, here's what I found :
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="...................." />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Thank you in advance.

I was also running in the same issue with slightly different settings/environment.
I had couple of portlets written in .Net on one page. One was written in .Net 1.1 and other one was .Net 3.5 with Ajax Extender controls. (Both the apps run fine without portal - ALUI 6.1 environment)
Couple of the link buttons were generating the same error '__EVENTTARGET' is null or not an object , these link buttons were trigger to an update panel.
I tried registering the __EVENTTARGET with the link buttons from the code behind, making the form names same ... .. but nothing helped.
In my case I had to change the asp:LinkButton to asp:Button to avoid __EVENTTARGET generation for the controls.
__EVENTTARGET is only generated for autopostback controls (or in other words controls that do not have submit behavior by default). It is not required for asp:Button.
HTH!

Persistant Status Bar Notification ... error 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object

I want to show a status bar that needs to be persistent on a page. for this I used the following in my master page
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); /* Set a status-color */
HTML, call the JS method:
<a onclick="ShowStatusBarMessage('Title'!','Awesome message!')">
Display Status Bar message!
</a>
ref:
http://www.zimmergren.net/archive/2010/03/17/sp-2010-dynamically-displaying-messages-to-your-users-with-the-notification-and-status-bar-areas-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
But what I want is
to call the function on load. So I used pushed ny function to _spBodyOnLoadWrapper using _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("YourFunctionName");,
it throws an error 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object
Next I created and
deployed a webcontrol and did a registerclientscript, that too gives me 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object
// Define the name and type of the client scripts on the page.
String csname1 = "AlertScript";
Type cstype = this.GetType();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
// Check to see if the startup script is already registered.
if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, csname1))
StringBuilder cstext1 = new StringBuilder();
cstext1.Append("<script type=text/javascript> alert('Hello World!');");
cstext1.Append("var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('title', 'message', true);");
cstext1.Append("SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); </");
cstext1.Append("script>");
cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1.ToString());
What am I missing ?
How can I get to show a status bar on load of any page, just as you get a health analyzer message when you get into the Central Admin?
Thanks, Mano

Ok, for some reason, it is not working for me. Below are the code that didnt work for me
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'red');
ShowStatusBarMessage('Title!','Awesome message!');
</script>
This too didnt work
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage()
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('Some title', 'Some message', true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'red');
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ShowStatusBarMessage");
</script>
I did try to register client script block programatically, that too didnt work
String csname1 = "AlertScript";
Type cstype = this.GetType();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
// Check to see if the startup script is already registered.
if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, csname1))
StringBuilder cstext1 = new StringBuilder();
cstext1.Append("<script type=text/javascript>");
cstext1.Append("var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('title', 'message', true);");
cstext1.Append("SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); </");
cstext1.Append("script>");
cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1.ToString());
Any help appreciated.
But the below code works..
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); /* Set a status-color */
</script>
<a onclick="ShowStatusBarMessage('Title!','Awesome message!')" href="#">
Display Status Bar message!
</a>
Thanks

Error Spry.Data.XMLDataSet is null or not an object

Hi
I try to use a dataset and a repeat list on a site
But it wont show the list in top. There are two javascript

object
Whats wrong

This one was solved. I copied the files in SpryAsset from a
new one, into the folder on this site. Then the problem was
solved

Error 'this.node.parentNode is null or not an object' with search highlight in certain topics

goto
http://www.afas.nl/profithelp/2_8_2/SE/index.htm
Click 'zoeken' (search)
Be sure that 'Zoekresultaten markeren' (search highlight) is
checked
Type 'activa'
Click the topic 'activa'
An error is displayed in the bottom left corner:
'this.node.parentNode is null or not an object'
If search highlight is not used, the error is not displayed.
Any ideas?

I think I have it, but it's almost unbelieveable.
In the activa topic, the word is highlighted up to a point.
Coming to the next instance of activa, you have this code:
<li class=p-BulletedList><p
class=BulletedList><b><span style="font-weight:
normal;">V:</b> v</span>aste activa waarop wordt
afgeschreven (Dit is de standaard waarde) . . . </p>
Note the superfluous <b> and </b> tags,
especially with the <span> calling for normal font-weight.
Suppose this is a valid string. Because the opening tags are
<b><span . . .>,
the closing sequence should be
</span>...</b>
I'm not sure exactly why the error does what it does.
Perhaps this is a simple html error that happens to come in
an awkward place, or
Because the browser expects </span> first, it treats
</b> as text, so the <b> never gets closed, which
confuses the search highlight script.
I've run into something like this before. Repeated
application, changes and deletion of font attributes in
approximately the same place sometimes results in confused tags.
Similarly, when you apply a build tag to styled text, and perhaps
change the font attribute, opening and closing tags get confused.
It may depend on the precise locations where you started and ended
your highlights during editing.
You'd expect this to be a harmless html error, but in this
case, it breaks the highlight code, I believe.
You're in a better position to test this than I am, so I
await your results.

BPELConsole error message: 0.prettyDate is null or not an object

We have successfully deployed the sample approval workflow. We modified that workflow and added an email task. The workflow was deployed and it launches and completes successfully. Via the BPELConsole, we can view the "audit" for that instance. However, when we view the "flow" for that instance, we get the error message:
Error: Internal Bug (# 81)
'0.prettyDate' is null or not an object
I can't find any reference to "prettyDate" (i even searched for Julia Roberts, Jessica Biel, etc) to no avail. Any ideas on what the heck this means?
To reiterate - all we changed was to add an Email task and the process otherwise behaves as usual.
Our BPEL install is in its own Application Server instance. It is version 10.1.3.3.
thank you,
iggy.

This is a bug - I know it happend on 10.1.2.
You need to apply patch...I don't remember the number sorry.
Try to find it in metalink.

Error: 'bobj.crv.params.FlexParameterUI' is null or not an object

Hi,
can someone tell me how to fix the following error when i try to open a RPT file using crjava-runtime in Apache. i believe this error is javascript related.
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Timestamp: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:08:44 UTC

much appreciate,
Kenny

Note that the new CR4E web viewer uses Adobe Flex to display the parameter selection dialog. The error is indicating issues with accessing this particular component via client-side JavaScript.
I would:
1. Trace JavaScript using a web browser JavaScript debugger.
2. Trace HTTP communication using [Fiddler|http://www.fiddlertool.com]
to find what's missing.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Button error - document.wwv_flow.p_request is null or not an object

Hello
I currently seem to be getting a page error with Internet explorer, whenever I click a button, the error is 'document.wwv_flow.p_request' is null or not an object, the button then stays disabled.
The error doesn't seem to occur on all the pages I have created, but on most.
Any ideas?
Cheers ian

I have just noticed that the problem seems to be related to the submit rather than the button itself, as the redirect buttons work, but anything that uses a submit does not work i.e select lists (with submit).
Is this something that I can fix?
