Javascript error in Internet Explorer: status is null or not object

Hi.
I use Oracle AS MapViewer 1033p5_B081010, and show maps fine with firefox, but failure with Internet Explorer, and not show map.
My error description in javascript is :
Line: 1143
Character: 1
Error: 'status' is null or is not object
Any Idea?
Please I need a solution or help for solution.
Regards,
Marcelo A. Vasquez

Hi Marcelo,
it may be something in your java script code around line 1143 ('status' parameter?). IE seems not to like it. I would check this piece of code.

  • Spry Validation Error in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I have a PHP form with Spry Validation for Textfields and Selction.
    The init part in the HTML form looks like this:

           var sprytextfieldvorname = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfieldvorname", "none", {isRequired:true,  validateOn:["change,blur"]});

    When loading the page an error in Internet Explorer 8 occures:

    When loading the page the first time it's not a big problem. But when the users enters some unvalid data the page lodes again and in the onload section from the body the function validateall is startet.
    function validateall()    {
                    status = 0;
                    status += spryradioanrede.validate();
                    status += sprytextfieldvorname.validate();

                    status += sprytextfieldstrasse.validate();
                    status += sprytextfieldstrasse.validate();
                    status += sprytextfieldplz.validate();
                    status += sprytextfieldort.validate();
                    status += sprytextfieldemail.validate()

                    status += spryselectfieldjahr.validate();
                    if (status < 15) {
                        return 0;
                    } else {
                        return 1;
    The error occurs again and the validation is not yet done. Which means, that the fields with problems will not be marked. When entering the field afterward and changing or blur everything works ok and the field is marked in red. Only the onload is not working.
    Any ideas, what the problem is?
    Thank
    Michael

    It seems to be an Error in Spry,
    Open the SpryValidationTextField.js
    find:
    Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
         this.removeHint();
         this.oldValue = this.input.defaultValue;
         this.resetClasses();
         if (Spry.is.ie) {
              //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
              //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed
              //to reproduce: change the className of one of the elements inside the form from within the onreset handler; then the onpropertychange does not fire the first time
              this.input.forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange = true;
              this.input.removeAttribute("forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange");
         var self = this;
         setTimeout(function() {self.putHint();}, 10);
    and replace with:
    Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
         this.removeHint();
         this.oldValue = this.input && this.input.defaultValue ? this.input.defaultValue : "";
         this.resetClasses();
         if (Spry.is.ie) {
              //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element

  • 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:

    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("script>");
    cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1.ToString());

    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ShowStatusBarMessage");
    </script>
    I did try to register client script block programatically, that too didnt work
    String csname1 = "AlertScript";
    Type cstype = this.GetType();

  • Error in Internet Explorer when loading from cache

    Hello all,
    I have this error in internet explorer when it's loading the swf from cache
    "ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
        at flash.display::BitmapData()"
    If you have a solution for me I will appreciate.
    Thanks

    I've just run into this error as well. It only occurs when you have loaded your SWF into cache and you refresh the page. This error does not occur if the user opens a new tab and visits the site (even if the cache has that SWF). Right now, I am stumped on how to resolve this issue without the help of Adobe. There is a critical site launch that depends on BitmapData to work properly.
    Adobe, I will also be posting this in your bug system.

  • Error in Internet Explorer with Muse

    I have an error in Internet Explorer and cannot seem to find the resolve in your Q&A databases. It is: museJSAssert: Error calling selector function:Error: Invalid argument; I have gone thru this website for answers (looked at the code thru a code editor and any broken links as per mentioned in posted discussions)... This site is live right now, it works in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!
    I have periods instead of dashes in the phone numbers... could this be it? OR some of the page links are not active yet... I am guessing at this point as I am relatively new to web/muse design. Any help would be fantastic! Thank you very much! Oh, the website address is www.rubarb.ca (yes, that is spelled correctly)... THANKS AGAIN!

  • Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

    Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

    I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
    This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
    Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
    be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
    You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
    netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
    netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
    You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
    Hi,
    This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
    I have also tried  to disable  "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
    detect settings".
    This has no affect.
    Thanks,

  • SpyrData.js Unknown error in Internet Explorer

    Hello my most learned friends!
    I am having a problem in Internet Explorer with a page I'm
    developing. I'm using SpryData.js to import some XML data for a
    photo gallery. It works fine in Safari and Firefox 2 but displays
    nothing but an unknown error message at line 1178 in SpryData.js
    which is:
    if (!hasSpryContent)
    // Clear the region.
    rgn.innerHTML = ""; <--- line 1178
    Is there a way around this?
    Thanks.
    - Peter

    I found
    this
    post on the forum relating to sprydata.js and it got me
    thinking . . . maybe I've got a tag or an element that doesn't have
    an innerHTML. So I hunted for this tag like I hunt for my inner
    child and I found the problem.
    <script type="text/javascript"
    SPRYREGION:DETAILSREGION="DSDATA"> //emphasis mine
    Somewhere in the production cycle me inner child must have
    put that "spry:region" in by mistake. Sorry to raise a fuss. I
    learned something from this - let the adults do the coding and
    leave the inner children with the design.

  • Sizing Error in Internet Explorer 7

    I am currently developing a website that uses the xspf mp3
    player (
    http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/).
    I set the object size to width=100% and height=100% when I embed
    the flash swf file. In Firefox the player is correctly sized to be
    contained within the div it resides in but in internet explorer it
    ignores my size tags and makes it the default size of the player.
    http://exile.thepocketofresistance.com/
    Is this a known issue? Do I need to detect IE and run a
    workaround in Javascript or am I just being dumb and missing
    something? Ignore the content :) Obviously it is a dev site for a
    friend.

    I've just run into this error as well. It only occurs when you have loaded your SWF into cache and you refresh the page. This error does not occur if the user opens a new tab and visits the site (even if the cache has that SWF). Right now, I am stumped on how to resolve this issue without the help of Adobe.

    Hi together
    I have a problem with IE6 on a JSP page. I want to disable a HTML button calls
    'fehlerdetails' if one of radiobutton list has a value "FIID NOK".
    This Java script sample below is running with Netscape 7.0 but Internet Explorer get no objects back.
    Has everyone a idea how can I read a value from list:
    document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked[i]
    with Internet Explorer 6??
    HTML Radiobutton (Struts):
    <html:radio styleClass="radioButton" name="GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean" onclick="checkAccountNr();" property="checked" value="<%= String.valueOf(j) %>">

    first, this is a Java forum, not Javascript, and aside from the first 4 letters, the two have nothing in common.
    Second.. if there's more then 1 radio button named 'GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean', this:
    var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
    will be an error.
    var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean;      
    for(x=0; x < radioButtons.length; x++) {
       if(radioButtons[x].checked) {
          ... check the value and disable
    }

  • Error: close Internet Explorer to continue

    I keep getting an error message that I must close Internet Explorer to continue but it is already closed, even the Task Manager says so. I have tried at least a dozen times this week.

    Did you use the Processes tab in the Task Manager?

  • Flash errors in internet explorer

    I'm a newbie in flash. I finished my degree about 3 months
    ago and have been learning Flash with Actionscript since.
    I am going crazy because no matter how hard I try, unexpected
    errors keep showing up in Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox works
    perfectly, almost the same as when I test the movies in Flash. I am
    considering making Flash development my career and need to know if
    the error is in my programming or if Internet Explorer is to blame.
    I am building a site for somebody right now, and I don't know how
    to explain the sudden image resizes, disappearing preloaders and
    other strange phenomena. My biggest problems are loaders constantly
    changing sizes and preloaders not appearing to indicate loading
    percentage.
    Should I tell people to download different browsers to view
    my Flash sites, or is there something I can do to make Internet
    Explorer work correctly?

    I recall these windows popping up in older versions of
    Internet Explorer and older versions of Flash Player. Im not sure
    which it depended on, but if you recently updated your Flash
    Player, then that is likely the cause. You can always use Firefox
    and download/install firebug extension and/or flashtracer
    extension.
