Hints on, Error: Object Does Not Exist

[phil karras]

There are really only two reasons for getting this error,

1. The object really doesn't exist. This could be because you're calling it one thing and the browser is calling it something else. The Browser is ALWAYS right, sort of like the customer. You are writing this code for the browser (the customer) and it expects things in a defined way, either you give it in those terms or you get this error.

2. There was an earlier error that cause the browser to miss, skip, ignore, or otherwise not be able to create the object in question.

For #2 if you're using NS you simply start up the JS debugger and look for and clear up all previous errors and that should take care of the problem. In IE you'll need to have the debugger set to come up for all JS errors. I believe Michael has an article on how to do that.
