I just installed the merge topic mod. Before that I had already installed the split topic mod. They both seem to work as expected.

Now I notice an error (it shows in IE at the bottom left of the browser with a yellow exclamation point). When I click it, it says:

Message: Object required
Line: 53
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mangionemagic.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1358

It actually says it a couple of dozen times.

It only does this if I am making a new topic or if I reply to a topic.

The line referred to is in red below. Any suggestions?

Dim ShowKeyWords : ShowKeyWords = True

if (Request.QueryString("TOPIC_ID") = "" or IsNumeric(Request.QueryString("TOPIC_ID")) = False) and Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login" and Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout" then
   Response.Redirect "default.asp"
   Response.End
else
   Topic_ID = cLng(Request.QueryString("TOPIC_ID"))
end if 
Dim ArchiveView, ArchiveLink, CColor
Dim vPercent(100)
Dim vAnswers(15)
Dim vCount(15)
Dim mpoll, nMaxValue, nMaxWidth
Dim nTotal, nTotal2, nThisVal
if request("ARCHIVE") = "true" then
   strActivePrefix = strTablePrefix & "A_"
   ArchiveView = "true"
   ArchiveLink = "ARCHIVE=true&"
elseif request("ARCHIVE") <> "" then
   Response.Redirect "default.asp"
   Response.End
else
   strActivePrefix = strTablePrefix
   ArchiveView = ""
   ArchiveLink = ""
end if

are you sure that is the line it refers too. yellow exclamations indicate javascript errors, but the code you posted is not javascript

It's not referring to the asp file leatherlips. It is referring to the compiled html code. View the source of the page when viewing it and find line 53.

Browsers cannot find server side errors. It can only tell you about errors in the resulting code, like in html, javascript, css, etc. If there was an error in the asp code, the server would give you the error.

Thanks for the information.

Perhaps its not the merge topic mod after all. It seems to only do it on the posts where I am testing some new tags I've made. But I still can't figure it out.

Maybe one of you could log on my forum and see what it is doing?

http://www.mangionemagic.com/forumtest

Log in is demo, demo.

Then go to Test Area > Testing MP3 MP3JW XML FLV Tags

If you go to the above post and then either click New Topic or Reply To Topic, you'll see what I'm referring to.

This topic is using the new tags I made and am experimenting with. I'm not sure what I did though. The tags work and everything else works. It's just that that error is bothering me.

The topic or reply will post as normal. But in IE in the bottom left corner there is an error alert:

When you click it you see:

Hey leatherlips,

I just wanted to say that's a fine job you did there on that forum. It is very smooth and inviting!

Well, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the new tags I am trying out. When I remove them from the post the error does not occur.

I need to go back and see where I may have made a mistake in implementing them. It's weird to me though because the tags work.

Etymon, thanks.

Perhaps its just an IE8 problem.

That is indeed weird. Line 53 refers to the following code:

function openPollWindow(url,w,h) {
line 53  popupWin = window.open(url,'new_page','width='+w+',height='+h+',scrollbars=yes')
}

What is even weirder is that, the error refers to the topic.asp file, only after clicking on the Reply link. But there is no error when loading topic.asp at all.

What tags are you adding and what are they doing?

that isn't actually line 53, because there are .js files referenced, line 53 will actually be in one of them, so it will be in
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/swfobject.js or audio-player.js or mp3.js,resizeimgs.js or smooth.pack.js

lol so line 53 isn't actually line 53 eh? lol
It makes the error reporting in IE 8 pretty dumb, since it won't take us to line 53 and we have to search for it ourselves. Doing a view source doesn't show us the "real" line 53, going by your reasoning. Uhg!

He has javascript files being referenced before those too Huwr. First script is

<script type="text/javascript" src="googiespell/AJS.js"></script>

But this is accessed in all the forum files.

But line 53 is:

isOpera: function() {
        return (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("opera") != -1);

I'm getting ready to give up.

Now I can't get my mp3jw tag to work. I've triple checked my code and it all looks fine. It was working earlier. I must have made a change somewhere when trying to fix this problem but I can't figure it where it was. Everywhere I looked is what it should be.

Well, I would have suggested you just ignore IE 8 error for now, since it doesn't seem to be stopping your tags from working properly. Hopefully you can undo any changes you made to try and prevent the javascript error in IE 8.
