loop<arguments.length; invalid character ?? help 1

[girlinterrupted24]

Hey guys...

I am getting this error

Un nombre contenía un carácter no válido. Error al procesar

Which I think means something like "The name contained a non-valid character"

for (var loop=0; loop<arguments.length; loop++) {
---------------------------------------^

What could cause this error -- helpppp

The whole code is :

function Refresher(pic1,pic2,pic3,pic4,pic5,pic6,pic7,pic8,pic9,pic10,pic11,pic12,pic13,pic14,pic15,pic16,pic17,pic18,pic19,pic20) {

for (var loop=0; loop<arguments.length; loop++) {
if (arguments[loop] != '') {
// document.images['pic' + (loop+1)].src = '../images/property' + arguments[loop] + '?randomParam=' + new Date().getTime();
document.images['pic' + (loop+1)].src = '../images/property' + arguments[loop] + '?' + new Date().getTime();
}
}
}

Your help would be so much appreciated... this error only happens very rarely tooo...... So I dont know what throws it!!

You've got it. And to make things even tidier, you can replace this:

function Refresher(pic1,pic2,pic3,pic4,pic5,pic6,pic7,pic8,pic9,pic10,pic11,pic12,pic13,pic14,pic15,pic16,pic17,pic18,pic19,pic20) {

with this:

function Refresher() {

as you're querying arguments directly.

Another thought!!!! The user said they were using the exact same computer when they successfully added a property with while I was on the telephone as the one they used when they kept hitting the error!!!

Now how would that make sense?? hmmm....... Either way - like I say the javascript would never stop the saving of the pictures OR saving the data to the database - so even if it was something else... the error checker you have added for me, this would catch the error that stops the "Save Property" anyway - right? So this would solve it either way?

Thanks again.. ..... and sorry to go on!!

Ahhh perfect!!! Much tidier!!!!

thanks for that tip

I'd certainly get the user to re-test the new solution (making sure they have cleared their browser cache first, of course!). If it passes OK for them a few times, then I'd say the problem has been fixed.

Sounds like you could get a job working support, Dan! Well done on following this through to the very end... another example where many of us would likely have given up.

Have a star from me in appreciation of your effort.

Cheers,
Jeff

What is Javascript? faq216-6094

Thanks, Jeff!

I'd like to know if the arguments.length fix solved the client's problem - and whether they were using a version of IE prior to v5.5.

Tonya - can you shed any light on these?

stange of strange!!

The error is still there!!!!!! I cant believe it! I have now started to think that although the error is saying the Javascript... that it must be something else...... ??

Maybe some of the form data... although I dont know why it is not displaying a normal error - and is stating this XML and Javascript error... Do you think this could be the case?

If so.......... what kind of strange input / character could cause this? The only character I ensure is obviously never added is ' is there any other input I should watch out for?

This is a head banger!! As Jeff said thank you so much Dan for all your help... it is so much appreciated...
