jackie26 -> 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 14:45:40)

I used a dynamic drop down menu from this site http://simplythebest.net/scripts/DHTML_scripts/dhtml_script_105.html and customized it for my own. Once I added the 2nd sub-level links in a started receiving this error ...

'as' is null or not an object
line 54

If I click ok it will still open my page, but I don't know what to do to make this go away.

Here is my website http://www.westar.com/test/index.asp

Here is the JavaScript code that the menu is using:

function init(){
if(!window.standards) return;
if(window.inited) return;
//////////////////////////////////  GLOBAL OFFSET VARIABLES //////////////////////////////	
	if(bw.wIE || bw.ns){
		menuOffsetTop = 3; // first level menu. smaller number is more up
		menuOffsetLeft = 2; // first level menu. smaller number is more right.
	}
	else if(bw.mIE){
		menuOffsetTop = -1; // first level menu. smaller number is more right
		menuOffsetLeft = -6; // first level menu. smaller number is more right
	}
	submenuOffsetTop = -14 ;// smaller number is closer to top

	if(bw.wIE) submenuOffsetLeft = -12; // left-side menu. smaller number is closer to menu
	else if(bw.mIE) submenuOffsetLeft = -4; // left-side menu. smaller number is closer to menu

	submenuOffsetRight = 0;// right-side menu.  smaller number is closer to menu.

Please let me know if you need anything else as there is another js menu the menu uses as well.

rdouglass -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 16:09:29)
Hi and Welcome to OutFront. I see no place for that error in that script but that's just me. What happens if you completely remove that particular script from the page? Does the error go away?

dpf -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 16:10:22)
quote: I see no place for that error in that script but that's just me. i looked and didnt see it either - i loaded the page and didnt get the error

rdouglass -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 16:14:49)
It may actually be in menubarAPI4.js the externam JavaScript file.

jackie26 -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 16:25:48)

Yes I believe you are right... the error is coming from the file "menuAPI4.js". If I remove the code from line 54

function itemOver(e){if(this.om.as){rsm(this.om.as);this.om.as=null;}}

I receive a new error stating...
Error: 'itemOver' is underdefined on line 28

Here is the code on the "menuAPI4.js"

Jackie : i know a little about javascript - not an expert but enough. In my opinion, the script you have select is wayyyy more complex than need be for a basic drop down menu - its way too complex for this old boy to trouble shoot

jackie26 -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 16:59:27)
I'm thinking it has something to do with that line 54 function itemOver(e){if(this.om.as){rsm(this.om.as);this.om.as=null;}} on the MenuAPI4.js page and they way I labeled my extending horizontal menus that pull out from the drop-downs on the init.js page. Maybe they need to be named differently? Well if no one can crack this... anyone know of an similar drop-down w/ much less code? Thanks, Jackie

rdouglass -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/27/2005 20:21:36)
quote: Maybe they need to be named differently? That may be the case. It might be a select element. Can you go back to any original samples and check how all form elements / objects / spans / divs / etc are named. Normally in JavaScript IIRC that is a location for a form element or identifyer. I'd look for items that are named "om" or "as". Here's my thinking: this.om.as Look at that string closely. In JvaScript, there is a hierarchy of objects whereas "this" is normally the object being passed to the function and "om" is a child object of "this". Hence "as" is a child of "om" but is still part of "this". Usually forms are "this" but doesn't have to be. (Confused yet?) So JavaScript is looking probably (I think anyways) for form elements, divs, or spans called "om" for the "as" information. So if you go back to original examples, you may get lucky looking for those things. That's how I'd attempt it anyways. Hope it helps.

jackie26 -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/28/2005 10:02:23)
I'm not understanding what I need to change/fix once I locate the areas in the script that say 'om' or 'as'. As you can see that is where my error is coming from is from this line... function itemOver(e){if(this.om.as){rsm(this.om.as);this.om.as=null;}} Which includes both the 'om' and 'as'.

rdouglass -> RE: 'as' is null or not an object (10/28/2005 12:08:27)
quote: Which includes both the 'om' and 'as'. Yup. You're right. [;)] As Dan said, that is a bear of a script and for me personally, without knowing exactly what you want to do (and ahave a few hours to spare) I wouldn't dare make any suggestions except to consult with the source / developer of the script. And to throw random ideas at you just doesn't seem fair to me - don't want to lead you down the wrong path. Can you build an example page from the original and slowly add one of your items into it at a time? Keep ckecking as you add, and wait until it breaks? Sometimes you just have to "plod" thru these things. [&o]
