onload error

[andy johnson]

I made the mistake of "upgrading" to IE6.0 on my windoze 98 laptop. I
really wish bill gates would die in a horribly painful accident.
Anyway, after much grief, I downloaded Opera and saw true religion.
The good in this is I discovered my web site http://www.oawater.com
has a slide show on the main page that is broke in Opera 7.11. I get
this error message. Can anyone give me some direction?


Event thread: onload
Error:
name: TypeError
message: Statement on line 56: Expression evaluated to null or
undefined and is not convertible to Object:
document.images .SlideShow.filt ers
Backtrace:
Line 56 of linked script http://www.oawater.com/styles/show.js
document.images .SlideShow.filt ers.blendTrans. Apply();
In unknown script
runSlideShow();
At unknown location
{event handler trampoline}

Thanks,

Andy

Opera doesn't support any filters thus you need to check
if (document.image s.SlideShow.fil ters) {
document.images .SlideShow.filt ers.blendTrans. Apply();
}

filters and the such are pretty much IE only. As such, its not going to work in
Opera. Not unless you backtrack out of it and use object detection to make sure
the browser supports it.

Use object detection, not browser detection though.
