On which lines are you getting this error?

**deedub65** · May 25 '07, 07:41 PM

the error messages simply say:

"While executing isCommandChecke d in Text_FontFamili es.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

missing ) after argument list"

and another which says:

"While executing canAcceptComman d in Text_FontFamili es.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

missing ) after argument list"

- does this help?

Which browser are you using?

Can you give the rest of the code.

**deedub65** · May 28 '07, 03:22 PM

i use Safari and Firefox, but the errors come when i am working with Dreamweaver - here is the entire file's code:


<HTML>
<HEAD>

<TITLE>Font Families</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javas cript" SRC="../../Shared/MM/Scripts/CMN/string.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javas cript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

There's still code missing. Where's this "dw" object and its methods getFocus an getDocumentDOM?

What are you trying to do here? I'm sure there's a better way than this.

**deedub65** · May 31 '07, 06:04 PM

i am not quit as saavy as you might think - so not sure how to answer you - bottom line - this is the ENTIRE code in an .html document that is part of my Dreamweaver MX program - i didn't write this code - it literally came with the software - i am not sure if i did something wrong, because i didn't always get this warning - it started awhile back -

so, best i can tell - there is no other code to this particular file - does that help make sense?

i am not intending to do anything except figure out how to NOT get the error message -

**acoder** · Jun 1 '07, 09:02 AM

Ok, there is a script included, string.js. Perhaps you could post some of that code.

Perhaps a file has been changed that wasn't supposed to be.

i am pretty sure i might have inadvertenly messed something up - here is the string.js code - thanks SO much for your continued help!
