Here is the scripts -- If you tell me I have a script error at this
point I will be sad, very say.
function tohere()
{
processaddr('TO') ;
}
function fromhere()
{
processaddr('FM') ;
}
function processaddr(directn)
{
if (document.buttons.addr.value.length > 0)
{
if (directn == 'TO')
{
document.buttons.startaddress.value = document.buttons.addr.value ;
document.buttons.endaddress.value = myCoord[4] + "," + myCoord[5] ;
}
else
{
document.buttons.startaddress.value = myCoord[4] + "," +
myCoord[5] ;
document.buttons.endaddress.value = document.buttons.addr.value ;
}
document.buttons.meetingaddress.value = myCoord[2] + "," +
myCoord[3] ;
document.buttons.coordinatesline.value = myCoord[4] + "," +
myCoord[5] ;
alert('str add ' + document.buttons.startaddress.value) ;

alert('mtg add ' + document.buttons.meetingaddress.value) ;
alert('coord ' + document.buttons.coordinatesline.value) ;
return true ;

Rik, thanks -- that was definitely not necessary -- I took it out and
there was no change.

You don't know if you have a script error at this point? Anyway, another
poster spotted a flaw in your HTML. You should have validated the HTML
first and if it still didn't work at that point, you should have tested it
without the script (which you should do anyway.) And when posting HTML, you
should include all functions referenced in inline event handlers, otherwise
it is impossible to test it.
ft310
David, thank you very much for your valued insights into the current
state of software evolution.
David Mark
Of course it was necessary. If it still fails then something else is wrong
too. Perhaps you should stick to learning HTML before trying to add
JavaScript to your creation.

It was neccessary, it was invalid HTML. Now, if things still not work,
consider 2 options to further our search:
1. Use FireBug in Mozilla (or other javascript tools) to check the flow
after the onclick events.
2. If that doesn't work, put it up on a location reachable for us and give
us the URL. I'm not in the habit of setting up other peoples webpages
myself to give them free advice about their problems. I'm glad to help
out, but make it easy for the people who are willing to spend time on you.

You might be more successful as a baggage handler. Web development is
clearly not your bag.
ft310
Rik, I appreciate your input and I think agree with you. I've had this
issue for some time now and was looking for an approach as everything
I could think of was yielding nothing.
Your remarks were constructive and necessary -- the /> should not have
been there -- I had discredited it but one can never know.
In all cases though, this discussion reach a new low real quick and I

It would be appreciated if you fixed this page. I don't care for the
opening JavaScript error in IE7 (among other things.)

Interesting. I normally use IE6; IE7 is on another machine here.
IE6, Firefox 2.0.0.4, and Opera 9.21 all seem happy with the page.
IE7 does assert Line 378 Char 31 Invalid argument Code 0 but
line 378 and its neighbours are an innocent HTML paragraph.
I introduced an error on line 356, which *is* script, and its line
number was correctly given.
I removed it, and added extra blank lines at about line 369; line 378
was still reported as wrong.
It would be appreciated if you would fix IE7 !!!
What do others see when loading that page?

Works OK, there is an error report in MSIE 7 indeed though.
The error is in the Cuffs() function, MSIE 7 reports it's in the HTML but
clearly it's the javascript file. It bugs on:
HREF = DLJ.href
On link no. 289 to be precise, where further processing is halted.
There, it appears there is the first 'news:*'-link encountered. Indeed, if
all are removed or alter into for instance 'news://', the error disappears.

Which is offcourse right, it _should_ be news: without the //... Maybe
MSIE 7 doesn't really recognize news:// but just doesn't do weird stuff it
does do with actual news:-links. I do not know the exact nature of the
problem, I just know where it is :-)

It should not matter AFAIK, but even assigning the DLJ.href to HREF gives
the error, very weird behaviour.

...
DLJ = document.links[J];
if(typeof DLJ.href != 'string') continue;
HREF = DLJ.href;
...
That seems to work with the old links.

To say the least. I have to admit, I wouldn't have seen that coming either.
Just what is the type of that link's href property in IE7? My guess is
"unknown." That would mean that for some stupid reason that link is an
ActiveX object in IE7.
Just goes to show you have to test in everything. Especially new versions
of IE.

Installed. Seems OK with IE6, IE7, and the new Firefox 2.0.0.5 and
Opera 9.22. Thanks.
There is however a related problem - neither by the link, nor by any
other means so far tried, have I actually been able to get that FAQ.
