Null or not an object error

[guest]

Hi There,

I run a website that enables other websites to put their own template around the content of my site. The javascript for one page works on all but a couple of "partner" sites. For this reason it would seem pointless to paste the javascript code here, but rather viewing the source of the differing pages might be more appropriate.

Rather than doing this, you can just believe me - if you go to the main site at http://www.toptipper.com/servlet/tipping.Login , login as user "guest" with no password, then on the next page you are presented with drop-downs to select a competition. These work fine - if you change the competition using the select, then the form is automatically submitted.

However, if you then close your browser, re-open it (to kill session info) then go to a partner site at http://www.toptipper.com/servlet/tipping.Login?websiteid=768 . Again, login as user "guest" with no password, and if the session info was killed properly you should again see the same drop-downs to select a competition. Problem is, the top one doesn't work (but the bottom one does), giving the "null or not an object" error for the select's name (document.theform.competitionname). I'll check back the forum, but if you could email me on editor@toptipper.com as well that would be fantastic

thanks for any help given, much appreciated

regards

Daniel

have no time to check, but it might be a cookie somewere. This forum, also, sends a cookie, if you want, to help you open direct the user's page or forum without login second session, and, furthermore, keeps the traking of your entrances.

But, if you delete the cookie from your temporary file, you should login again.

Try delete all the cookies. Or, maybe their cookie is wrong coded, who knows...

In function selectComp()
{
var comp = document.theform.competitionname.options[document.theform.competitionname.selectedIndex].value;
.
.

The form name is "form1" not "theform"
Also you are nesting forms, not a good idea

Fang,

Thanks very much for your response. As you said, forms were being nested - this is because of the partners html code being intermingled with the TopTipper content. I'm sure once I end their form in the appropriate place it will work.

If you're ever in Yamba, I'll shout you a beer!

cheers
