hi

I've developed a website using asp.net 3.5/visual studio 2008. Now after I
had to reinstall everything on my computer I get messages like "Microsoft
JScript runtime error: Object expected", which I didn't get before, the
error occur at the first line in the code below...
I run IE8

any ideas?

yes, I have an idea that object is expected ;-)

Try to debug js:

Yes, I know an object is exprected. But I didn't get this error before I
reinstalled everything on my computer.. The code is exactly as fore I
reinstalled..., One difference I see is that wehn I run my website I see in
Solution Explorer "Script Documents", I didn't see that before I resintalled
everything on my computer... I wonder what can cause this?

Where is the get Frame() function? Is it in the page itself, or is it in a
separate JavaScript file?

If it's in the page itself, is it in the <header /> section?

The message that you are seeing is a generic JavaScript error telling you
that it can't find an object where it is expecting to find one. This could
be virtually anything - your only real course of action is to debug the
JavaScript.

It could be for example because of different version of ASP.NET. Yes,
I know that it is the same project like before, but if it gives you an
error than something is different. I don't know how you run the site,
if it is on IIS then maybe IIS has different version of ASP.NET.

It is because of Client-Side Script Debugging
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7seh8d72.aspx

As I said, try to debug js. This is the fastest way to find the error

Hello Jeff,

The fact that you didn't see it at first and now are seeing it migth be due
to the fact that Visual Studio 2008 has enabled error reportign and debugging
of Javascript, where it was previously disabled. That didn't prevent the
error, just didn't show it to you.
