Object doesn't support property or method

[IanMac]

I have some forms where a javascript function will only fire 1 time, then I get the 'object doesn't support property or method' error.

<a onclick="myAccount();" href="#">my account</a>

It will fire the first click - opens a form - but after closing the form the function does not fire a 2nd time. It happens in both IE & FF. In IE I get this snippet:

function onclick(event)
{
myAccount();return false;
}

The funny thing is both Firebug & IE debugger can see and execute the function. From IE debugger:
function myAccount() {
retData = $.ajax({
url: '/administrate/ajax/myAccount/users',
async: false
});
try{
obj = eval('('+retData.responseText+')');
if (obj.status == "true") showAltPopup(obj.html);
if (obj.messages) showError(obj.messages);
if (obj.code ) eval(obj.code);
}catch(err) {
showError(err.message);
}
}

This is my first jquery project [usually use mootools] but not sure if it's related at all.

Since both IE & FF have problems I assume it's something legitimate, but both of the debuggers can execute it fine.

I encountered this before and a fix like this worked

function myAccount() {
}

to:

var myAccount = function() {
}
worked in some circumstances, but not here.

did you try it this way?

function myAccount(){
 retData = $.ajax({
 url: '/administrate/ajax/myAccount/users',
 async: false
 }).responseText;
 try{
 obj = eval('('+retData+')');
 if (obj.status == "true") showAltPopup(obj.html);
 if (obj.messages) showError(obj.messages);
 if (obj.code ) eval(obj.code);
 }
 catch(err){showError(err.message);}
}

Same thing. Both as var = myAccount() and function myAccount().

Works 1st time only.

it's hard to deal with a piece of code i surrender
