help with error

[jrthor2]

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this error I get when loading my page:

Line 148
Char 10
Error 'document.all.sposorAdDiv.style' is null or not an object
Code 0
url: http://www.zluth.org

Attached is my page's code.

Thanks

Chance are that in the line

document.all.sposorAdDiv

sposorAdDiv is not spelled correctly or it does not exist in the document..
You have to make sure the spellings are correct.

[jrthor2]

If you would have looked at my code, this is a style property, it is there and spelled correctly throughout the entire page.

But there is no HTMLElement of that name, and that is what is causing the error.

Also, since the word 'sponsorAdDiv' isn't used anywhere else in the page - unless it is created dynamically, I can't see how it can have the effect you were hoping.

In most of the cases I don't need to,
read my first post...I said make sure spnsorAdDiv does exist in the document..

Now take a look at this line of code in css section of your page

sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1; top:0; left:0;}

you might think you have declared this id,but its not..
to make it corrrectly declared as an id you need to put a # before the name

#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1; top:0; left:0;}

use the above and if no other error it will work.

I'm not a Javascript person, so not quite sure what you mean by no HTMLElement. at the very bottom of the page, there is a div that calls this style.

the code works as it should, it pops up a window on the given date, but I noticed that the page had errors on it and wanted to fix them so people who have script debugging on don't get the annoying popup or yellow script error icon in their browser.

I put in the # in my style code, but I still get the same error. Is it because the div code that calls this funtion is only used on a certain date?

[jrthor2]

I got it fixed, it was because the code was only called if the date equaled a certain date. So I modified the code at the very bottom to look like this:


<!--Popup Ad box -->
<% if kaos_date("%E, %N %d%s, %Y", Now) = "Saturday, June 7th, 2003" then %>
<div id="sponsorAdDiv" style="visibility:hidden">
<table width="450" height="350" bgcolor="#330099"><tr><td>
<table width="445" height="345" bgcolor="#d7d7ff"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">
