Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for debugging ie-
specific errors? I have been working on a porting a prototype
application that works fine in firefox to ie, and have run into
several problems. For the latest one, the error message is not very
informative. When trying to load the application, ie complains "Object
doesn''t support this property or method."
When attempting to debug the error in MS Script Editor, the
problematic line is the catch part of a try-catch block in prototype,
" } catch (e) {"
Anyone have any suggestions on tracking down the offending bug, or for
debugging with MS Script Editor in general?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Keith

When it works on FF and not IE, that error seems to happen most when not extending an element with $(). see http://prototypejs.org/learn/extensions The error basically means that the script is trying to invoke method that doesn''t exist on that object. One thing you can do with MS Script Editor is to look at the stack trace to see where the error originated. - Ken Snyder On 2/16/08, Keith Hughitt <keith.hughitt-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for debugging ie- > specific errors?

Thanks Ken! Sure enough, there were several instances where elements had not been extended. Wrapping them in an $() fixed most of the problems. I''m still having some ie-specific issues, but they are probably not due to prototype-related functionality. Sorry if the question comes up a lot. I tried searching through the forums, but did not see anything related to what I believed to be the cause of the problem. Incidentally, does anyone know why this issue only occurs with ie? When do firefox elements get the extended functionality applied? Thanks!

p.s. Thanks Toby for all of your work on the Prototype library, and for answering my earlier question on a similar problem. Keep up the good work!
