For mine, the system is working for 2-3 times and then it is throwing this error of object doesn’e support…..

Means when i start the applicaiton works fine but after a certain 2-3 times clicking it throws this error.
Please help me out in this

I’ve been working on this same exact error off and on now for the last month (had to dedicate time to more important stuff), and I seem to have just solved it.

It was happening specifically and only to an iframe element I have pointing to an .htm page with a Flowplayer video, while a secondary fancybox element on the same page that was consequently NOT calling an iframe was consistently working just fine.

So, like everyone else here has been saying, it was a simple error and totally my own damn fault…

Here was the offending code:

$noConflict(”#video_fit”).fancybox({
‘padding’ : 0,
‘autoScale’ : false,
‘transitionIn’ : ‘none’,
‘transitionOut’ : ‘none’
});

And here is all I did to fix it:

$noConflict(”#video_fit”).fancybox({
‘padding’ : 0,
‘autoScale’ : false,
‘transitionIn’ : ‘none’,
‘transitionOut’ : ‘none’,
‘type’ : ‘iframe’
});

That’s right… I was missing the line:
‘type’ : ‘iframe’

Hope this helps for someone else in the future pulling their hair out about yet another IE inconsistency, (though in IE’s defense, it’s a totally valid error).

Spelling and uppercase/lowercase are also quick things to check when getting this error. “getElementByID” is wrong, “getElementById” is right.

what i found to be happening was i wasn’t declaring local variables with “var”, bad habit…i know. However, once I did added “var” to the local variable declarations, IE ran fine.

I had this problem because when I wrote a js function, I had something like: function nameF(String param){…}. It should be function nameF(param){…}

Hello all – I am struggling with the same error. This program did work and then all the sudden it stopped working when I tried to use it on a different computer – same OS. Does anyone have any insight?

Dim fs, f, objFolder, objSubFolder, objFile, strLine, strLine2

Const ForReading = 1

‘*** Format the date
strYr = Year(date)
strMth = Month(date)
strDay = Day(date)

if len(strYr) < 4 then
strYr = “20″ & Year(date)
end if

if len(strMth) < 2 then
strMth = “0″ & Month(date)
end if

if len(strDay) < 2 then
strDay = “0″ & Day(date)
end if

dtDate = strYr & “-” & strMth & “-” & strDay

‘*** Open two files – the original file to read from and the new file to write to

‘ ERRORS ON THE BELOW STMT
Set objFSO = CreateObject(”Scripting.FileSystemObject”)

Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(”C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\MWM\MWM Demo Startup\orders”)
