Is Null or Not an Object

[awieland]

I am receiving a JavaScript error and not able to send my varible to the database. The code that is giving me trouble is . Please know that I am using XML and the code sits in an XML template called W4Page and in that XML template the form W4Form is being used. I apologize for the large post, but I thought if someone sees the entire XML template it would help. Thank You.

Javascript error:

'document.W4Form.MarriedFileSingle' is null or not an object

My Code (which includes the entire XML template):

<xsl:template match="W4Page">

<script type="text/javascript">_page.startPage(PAY)</script>

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function StateW4Select(State)
{

//These State require a generic W4 form in addition to one particular for their state.
GenericStates = "DE,NE";

if(document.W4Form.W4.selectedIndex == 0) {
return false;
}

page = "forms/StateW4/" + State.value + ".pdf"
window.open(page,"StateW4");

}

function disable(InputField) {
InputField.disabled=1;
}

var state;
</script>

A W-4 enables you to indicate the amount of federal income tax to be withheld from your pay. The withholding amount is based on your marital status, number of dependents, and any additional tax withholding you may request. IRS regulation does not allow you to claim more than 10 allowances without approval. You cannot elect to have a flat dollar ($) or flat percentage (%) withheld from your pay. <br/><br/>

The information below reflects your current W-4 withholding. You can change your W-4 withholding by making changes to the fields below and clicking on the Save button. Your changes will be reflected on the next available payroll. <br/><br/>

To print a state W-4 form, select the state from the drop-down below and click on the View State W-4 button. Please fax the completed form to the PACE Service Center. Fax (561)244-0929.

Your form has no element named "MarriedFileSingle".

Or... the code cut off mid-post....

Could you post a URL instead?

cheesus crust - was your other thread with the same title not enough help?

"is null or not an object" means exactly that: what you're referencing is null or not an object.

learn to debug your scripts. start at the root of the offending object/property reference chain, and see where it breaks down.

e.g. if your error is

"document.foo.bar.foobar is null or not an object"

then start by going
alert(document)
alert(document.foo)
alert(document.foo.bar)
alert(document.foo.bar.foobar)

and see when you get "undefined" or "null"
