Outline JS error from Frontpage
 

Hi everybody, I have been trying to use MS Frontpage 2003 and the feature for allowing a bullet list to be created and then subsequently to be enabled with the collapse ability. I have followed the help in Frontpage and in the MS tech site but keep receiving an error against the javascript created from within the Frontpage web page creation process. I have googled the message ("an error has occurred in this script on this page") which got me to this site. I will include the javascript below that causes the error, BTW, I have registered DLLs, disabled javascript debuggers etc. Nothing has solved this problem and I now get a message prompting me to debug the script. I have narrowed this down to the script itself. Here it is: Hope I do this as prescribed! One last note, this seems to be something with the 1st line of code??

Re: Outline JS error from Frontpage
 

use [/code]

can you give complete code along with html code, so that i could understand whats going on ?

Re: Outline JS error from Frontpage
 

I gave you the complete JS but will give it again along with the html. I will list the HTML first then the JS. Thanks NOTE: The JS was generated by MS Frontpage 2003 when I chose BULLETS AND NUMBERS under the FORMAT menu, then tried both NUMBERS (list) and BULLETS (list) where I checked the box to ENABLE COLLAPSIBLE OUTLINES, I then keyed in a list and when I tried to PREVIEW

Re: Outline JS error from Frontpage
 

Sorry hit wrong key and the post was sent. Anyway when I tried to PREVIEW my list so that I could see if it was collapsible I kept getting the JS errors. I then went to Google and tried what others had posted to try regarding the JS errors. There are other JS's that execute on my machine and seem to do so OK except they now prompt me to RUN DEBUG whenever they run. Again, thanks.

i am not getting any problem in IE or Firefox
