I am getting an error with my menu in both Mozilla and IE. The error began when I downloaded version 5.3

Mozilla:
Error: _I has no properties
Source File: http://next.demandstream.net/SharedScripts/mmenudom.js
Line: 16

IE:
Error: '_I.3' is null or not an object

With text links the link still works but the error happens
With image links they do not work at all.

I did try the menu on a stand alone page and got the same errors.

Thanks

Wow I opened the page in Safari and the whole page has the shakes, what have you been feeding it?

I think its the news, it appears to be pushing the page out to the right and back again.

Try putting the menu under body rather than so far down.

I feed the site lots and lots of Mt Dew!

I moved the menu as well as disabled the news and still have the same issue.

Sadly, I don't have a Mac to test on since my companies products only run on Windows... Somehow management thinks that means that no one with a Mac will ever vist the site?!?

Thanks for the suggestion, but still not working.

FYI that same data file worked with several older versions of the code.

Hi,

I just had a quick visit and I get an error with the following line in your main page:

I'm having difficulty trying to load the file to view it, but as best I can tell, awstats_misc_tracker.js isn't really a .js file. Looks like it might actually be an html file (which would explain why the js interpreter chokes on the file's first line... a doctype definition).

Don't know how much that contributes to the overall problem, but I'm sure it doesn't help! (BTW, the page dances a jig in NS7.1/Win as well.)

Cheers,

Kevin

Thanks for your help but it still isn't working.

I have now removed all javascript that is not related to the menu, I even did a hard coded version of the data file (was origionally generating it with ColdFusion) but still no go.

Perhaps I should try an older version of the menu to see if that fixes the problem?

I'm curious about the difficulty you had with the awstats_misc_tracker.js file. It is definatly a javascript file and has no doc type definition at the top???? No wories, I'll figure that one out.

If it helps at all, I get the same error if I load the sample (menu.htm) without makeing any changes.

Thanks

It looks like somebody changed the license details on the menu files.

The error is synonymous with that.

Cheers

Thank you! Downloading a new copy fixed it.

I honestly don't remember changing any of that information, but I must have. It also seems to have fixed the menu dancing a jig in some browsers.
