So I just upgraded my development environment from 7.1.7 to 7.6.5 and most went smoothly.

I have a self service environment and a dashboard setup, everything runs fine out of the dashboard but now when I try and run reports out of our self service environment I get an error saying "'null' is null or not an object" (reports are be run from a parameterized HTML launch page).

If I goto into debug the line it breaks on in the ibirls2.js file is this: (this is in the GetAmpersValue2() function)

operation = inputFirst.getAttribute("operation");

Any ideas?

BTW ... if I used the ibirls2.js file from my 717 version the reports work fine. Anyone know what is causing this?

If you will do a search with 7.6 as the subject on the Forum...you will find lots of discussion on different errors from converting that may give you some ideas.

Eric,

As Praire suggested, do a find on ibirls2.js or ibirls2; your answer may be in those threads...Tom

Try opening the html page in the HTML Layout Painter and then re-saving it. See if that helps you at all.

It's actually a fex file with -HTMLFORM inside of it because I run a few includes to populate dropdowns before loading.

Anyway I did find out what was wrong/changed...

In 7.6.5 they changed the line:
var inputs = document.getElementsByName(variableName);

to:
var inputs = getElementsByName(variableName);

So I added the "document." back in and all works now...weird.
