invalid argument
Poster: run4it
Dated: Saturday July 31 2004 - 0:33:21 BST
I am experiencing an Invalid Argument error message in IE6 and my menus won't render. The script debugger says that the function spos() is the offender. Any suggestions?

You need to post a test page so we can check it out. Without seeing your code and your page with the menu calls and any other script items, there's no way to really tell what's causing the problem.

What is the "newest" doctype that these menus will run on? It works with no doctype, but will not work with XHTML transitional or strict.

Works with mine...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Still need a URL as Ruth requested.

John - when I use this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" when I mouse over the menu item."
When I use this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
I get Invalid Argument and the menus don't render.

What menu are you using?
If you mean version - 5.36 (current). It's running both the standard and beta tree menu system.
Got a URL we can hack at?

its on our intranet.

First problem. That is v3 code, which is no longer supported or developed (and why the Topic was moved). You'll need to upgrade to the current v5 system at http://www.milonic.com/.
