javascript error 'document.all.CreateMeeting.style' is ... - 10/24/2006 13:24:50   
Hello:

I have a form that reads a database and if no records exist it displays a message and I have a button encoded in the fp_sNoRecords to display a button that turns on a style that is initially hidden. I want to eliminate the error 'document.all.CreateMeeting.style' is null or not an object' if it is indeed null in my javascript function. Below is my code:


<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Activity_Review_Step_Id</title>

<script language="Javascript">
function ShowCreateMeeting()
{
if (document.all.CreateMeeting.style.value==null){
then exit function
} else {
document.all.CreateMeeting.style.visibility="visible";
document.all.CreateMeetingButton.style.visibility="visible";
document.all.DisplayMeeting.style.visibility="hidden";
}
}
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#CCCCCC" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt">

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="form1" style="width: 500">

</SCRIPT>

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does document.all work at all for you? It doesn't seem to work as expected anymore in most modern browsers. I generally will use:

document.getElementById('elementName').style

to get that. You can test that it supports document.all with a simple script like so:

if (document.all) {
alert('document.all works.');
}


I generally hide and show elements using the 'display' property like so:

document.getElementById('elementName').style.visibility = "hidden"

That help any?

Actually yes...I am using the document.all.CreateMeeting.style and everything displays fine either hidden or visible. I'm not too concerned at the moment with cross browser support because this is strickly a inhouse app and we control what browsers everyone will use. I just used your document.getElementById('elementName').style and it worked fine as well, however in the line for no records I have

<tr><td colspan=20 align=""LEFT"" width=""100%""><font face=""Arial"" size=""2"" color=""#FFFF00""><b><span style=""background-color: #0033FF"">No Meetings Exist.<BR><BR><BR><img border=""0"" src=""http://brutus/gis/devstat/images/AddMeetingButton.gif"" Onclick=ShowCreateMeeting() width=""93"" height=""27""></td></tr></span></B></font>"

I have a call for my javascript function in the line and it works fine if records exist. However if no records exists and I click the icon I get the javascript error 'document.all.CreateMeeting.style' is null or not an object message.

Thank you,

document.all.DisplayMeeting.style.visibility="hidden";
}
}
</script>


Is it because when there are no records the item "CreateMeeting" doesn't exist?

If you don't want it to do anything if Null, you could always try the JavaScript 'try' like this:

...
try {document.all.CreateMeeting.style.visibility="visible"; }
try {document.all.CreateMeetingButton.style.visibility="visible"; }
try {document.all.DisplayMeeting.style.visibility="hidden"; }
...

Sorry....this any better?

try {document.all.CreateMeeting.style.visibility="visible"; } catch(err) {}
try {document.all.CreateMeetingButton.style.visibility="visible"; } catch(err) {}
try {document.all.DisplayMeeting.style.visibility="hidden"; } catch(err) {}
