    Javascript Unspecified error

    Hi,

    I have a frameset and in one of the frames I have two functions.
    This code resides in a frame named leftFrame -

    Code:
    //This function downloads an Excel report
    function downloadExcelReport()
    {
    var selectObj = top.topFrame.document.getElementById('id_chain');
    document.forms[0].chain.value =
    selectObj.options[selectObj.selectedIndex].value;
    document.forms[0].submit();
    }
    
    //This function changes the text of an <LI> item onmouseover event
    function setinstructions(message)
    {
    var obj = document.getElementById('instr_text'); //Line 1
    obj.innerText = message;
    }
    When downloadExcellR eport() completes it gives the user open/save
    option for downloading the Excel file. If the user choses to open the
    file, then the setinstructions function works fine and the LI text is
    updated, however if the user choses to save the file, then Line 1
    produces a javacript error 'Unspecified Error'. I am unable to figure
    out the connection between the two. Anybody has any idea what could be
    causing this problem.


    Please help
