Javascript is not my usual thing...

[squish54]

Hi folks - I am mastering a website and there was some pre-existing Java content that I'd like to keep. The problem is that there is an error in the code somewhere and I am more of a networking guy than a programmer. Could one of you code-meisters please take a look at this and point out the error & proper code to resolve the problem?

Here is the script:

[HTML]<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
var oArgs = GetArgs("?");
if (oArgs["return"] == 'ok') {
document.write( '<p style="color: red"><em>Your file has been successfully uploaded.</em></p>');
}
</SCRIPT>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</font></div>
</div>
</div>
<table cellSpacing="2" width="80%" border="0" id="table3">
<tr>
<td class="topics">
<div style="CLEAR: both; MARGIN-TOP: -3%; postition: relative">
<p class="MsoNorma l" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
&nbsp;</p>
<div style="CLEAR: both; MARGIN-TOP: -3%; postition: relative">

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">

<p class="MsoNorma l" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

</body>

</html>
[/HTML]
When I show the details of the error in Internet Explorer, it says:
Line: 176
Char: 3
Error: Object expected
Code: 0

This is the line in question:
var oArgs = GetArgs("?");

There is a second script at the top of the page:
[CODE=javascript]</style>
<script language="JavaS cript">
<!--
function FP_swapImg() {//v1.0
var doc=document,ar gs=arguments,el m,n; doc.$imgSwaps=n ew Array(); for(n=2; n<args.length;
n+=2) { elm=FP_getObjec tByID(args[n]); if(elm) { doc.$imgSwaps[doc.$imgSwaps.l ength]=elm;
elm.$src=elm.sr c; elm.src=args[n+1]; } }
}

function FP_preloadImgs( ) {//v1.0
var d=document,a=ar guments; if(!d.FP_imgs) d.FP_imgs=new Array();
for(var i=0; i<a.length; i++) { d.FP_imgs[i]=new Image; d.FP_imgs[i].src=a[i]; }
}

function FP_getObjectByI D(id,o) {//v1.0
var c,el,els,f,m,n; if(!o)o=documen t; if(o.getElement ById) el=o.getElement ById(id);
else if(o.layers) c=o.layers; else if(o.all) el=o.all[id]; if(el) return el;
if(o.id==id || o.name==id) return o; if(o.childNodes ) c=o.childNodes; if(c)
for(n=0; n<c.length; n++) { el=FP_getObject ByID(id,c[n]); if(el) return el; }
f=o.forms; if(f) for(n=0; n<f.length; n++) { els=f[n].elements;
for(m=0; m<els.length; m++){ el=FP_getObject ByID(id,els[n]); if(el) return el; } }
return null;
}
// -->
</script>[/CODE]

This seems to have the "Args" value in there somewhere but like I said, it's all greek to me! Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you to all you coders out there. = )

This is a Javascript thing; not a Java thing (although the names look alike Java
has almost nothing to do with Javascript).

I'll move your question over to a Javascript forum.

kind regards,

Try adding this JavaScript code right before the error:

And next time,
Use CODE tags around your code:

..code goes here..

function getArgs(){
   var args = new Object();
   var query = location.search.substring(1);     // Get query string
   var pairs = query.split("&");                 // Split at ampersand
   search_array = query.split("&");     
   for (var i=0; i < pairs.length; i++){
       var pos = pairs[i].indexOf('=');          // Look for "name=value"
       if (pos == -1) continue;                  // If not found, skip
       var argname = pairs[i].substring(0,pos);  // Extract the name
       var value = pairs[i].substring(pos+1);    // Extract the value
       args[argname] = unescape(value);          // Store as a decoded value
   }
   return args;                                  // Return the object
}

Heya, Squish.

[code=javascript]function FP_getObjectByI D(id,o) {//v1.0[/code]

This version 1.0... must have been before the original developer discovered the return key :P
