Cannot read property "text"of undefined

[belz]

i have the following function for calculating distances.this function is the distance call back function.it goes throught all the alert statements but when it reaches the line in bold it throws an errorcannot read proprty "text of undefined".Is there anything i did wrong above such that my code cannot pass through this statement

function calculateDistanceCallback(response, status) {
       	     
       		  if (status != google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
       		    alert('Error was: ' + status);
       		  } else {
       			  alert("in else");
       		    var origins = response.originAddresses;
       		    var destinations = response.destinationAddresses; 
       		    var outputDiv = document.getElementById('outputDiv');
       		    
       		    outputDiv.innerHTML = '';
       		    //deleteOverlays();
       		    for (var i = 0; i < origins.length; i++) {
       		    	alert("in forloop");
       		      var results = response.rows[i].elements;
       		      alert("results" +results);
       		      alert("in second for loop");
       		      for (var j = 0; j < results.length; j++) {
       		    	  alert("insyd second for loop");
       		    	  
       		    	  alert("results" +results[j]);
       		      [B]var a = results[j].distance.text.split(" ")[0];[/B]
       		      
       		    alert("inbtwn for loop");
       		      workingDistance = a;

that’s because results[j] is not an object (or does not contain a distance property, but the alert() above pretty much rules that out).

[belz]

My code goes up to the alert which says second for loop.so what should i do to make the code work.can you write the code for me containing the change

[Dormilich]

there’s another alert() beneath that one, what does it show?

[belz]

hi.am using alerts as debug statements.lyk i said my code goz up to the alert wch says results +resulte[j].it doesnt proceed to go and print out the other alerts.meaning the prroblem is were ere is e distance.text code.bcz dats e only code inbtwn e 2 alert statrnents

lyk i said my code goz up to the alert wch says results +resulte[j]

and if that alert doesn’t show "[object Object]", then post #2 applies—you’re working with the wrong array.

[belz]

it does produce object Object.then doesnt proceed

[Dormilich]

then it doesn’t have—as I already said—a distance property.
