This may not necessarily be a DW question, but when I preview my site on our intranet, several pages come up with an 'Object expected' error. Since this is on an intranet, I can't post an example; however, the error always shows up on Line 75, Char 23. Does anyone know what's causing this? Is it a javascript error?
Thanks in advance!
 
That means that there is a line somewhere in your code (javascript, most likely) that is trying to call a function or refer to an object that does not exist --

and the line numbers are just about completely useless -- they never point me to the right spot --

 
Wow, thanks. I have no idea how to determine what object it's calling that doesn't exist. And if the line numbers mean nothing, what's their point? Do they serve any sort of purpose?

Thanks again!!
 
I wish I had better news --

If you have a good development software package (i.e. MS Interdev or Macromedia's UltraDev), then you can run the script in their debugger and step through it... that should track down the problem --

It's the thorn in the side of web development... debugging is a real pain. :-(
 
You might, however, post the code here, or a link to where we could see the error in action, and someone here could certainly help you run it down...
