I modified an html document by adding to new date list boxes (list boxes 10 & 11). The code pasted below runs fine on our uat server. We are switching servers and are now using a dev server. When I run the web page from the dev server I get the error message that is in the Post title. I even submitted a request to have the same javascript version that's on the uat server be installed on the dev server. This did not solve the problem. I'm still getting the same error message when the page is run from the dev server. Thanks.

Try putting alerts right before these lines, in every "onclick" function:

alert("Got here");
document.getElementById("listbox10").disabled   = ... ;
document.getElementById("listbox11").disabled   = ... ;

If you get the alert messages, move the alerts like so:

document.getElementById("listbox10").disabled   = ... ;
document.getElementById("listbox11").disabled   = ... ;
alert("Got here");

Do you still get the alerts, or do you get the "Expression does not return a DOM node" messages?

I did what you suggested and still received the same error message. I decided to move the alert at the top and received the alert on the window load. Pasted below is where I put the alert and the alert popped up when I ran the page.

 
//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {
alert("Got here"); 
UpdateData();
 
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
}
//End function window_onload



//Begin function form1Submit_onclick
function form1Submit_onclick(ctrl) {


}
//End function form1Submit_onclick


 

Hmmm... try this for checkbox1_onclick(ctrl), then run it and select/deselect checkbox1:

function checkbox1_onclick(ctrl) {
        alert("Entered checkbox1_onclick()");

	if (document.getElementById("checkbox1_0").checked)
   	{
         alert("Entered checkbox1_onclick() if");

     	 document.getElementById("checkbox2_0").disabled = true;
     	 document.getElementById("checkbox3_0").disabled = true;
       document.getElementById("checkbox4_0").disabled = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox10").disabled   = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox11").disabled   = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox5").disabled    = false;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox6").disabled    = false;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox7").disabled    = true;
   	}
   	else
   	{
         alert("Entered checkbox1_onclick() else");

     	 document.getElementById("checkbox2_0").disabled = false;
     	 document.getElementById("checkbox3_0").disabled = false;
         document.getElementById("checkbox4_0").disabled = false;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox10").disabled   = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox11").disabled   = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox5").disabled    = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox6").disabled    = true;
     	 document.getElementById("listbox7").disabled    = true;
//     	 document.getElementById("calendar1").value      = "        ";
//       document.getElementById("calendar2").value      = "        ";
	   }
}

I got the same DOM node error message

Okay, near the top, in your window_onload() function, try:

//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {

alert("Before UpdateData()"); 
UpdateData();
alert("After UpdateData()");
 
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
}
//End function window_onload

This should tell us something about how early the problem happens.

In HTML Composer or whatever IBI GUI that you use to manage your HTML, verify that EVERY control, iframe, report, graph, ... is properly bind to its source object (properly referenced).

I already had that error when one of my elements on an HTML page was referencing an invalid path.

The trick : reprocess all the referencing

Good luck

I got the following alert message

Before UpdateData()

That is not a good sign.

I recommend you try MartinY's suggestion, or maybe you could delete the controls that triggered the problem and recreate them (Giving them the same IDs, such as listbox10 and listbox11).

If that doesn't work, you might want to open up a support case with IBI.

Martin, I think that is it. Is the only way to get rid of unwanted boxes is to delete them in design mode? I moved the boxes to the Unbound Parameter section but they keep popping up on the Parameter page. I'm having a hard time getting one particular box to appear on the Design page because it was set with all zeros in the Properties by someone else. I changed the position but the box still doesn't appear on the Design page so I can delete it. Thanks.

The GUI sometimes "misplaces" things in its mind and makes it so you can't select the element for deletion.

I sometimes have to hack the HTML code to remove references to "misplaced" elements. I'm not recommending that you do that, mind you, but it's the only way I've found to correct the problem.

I would say Yes - must delete it using design mode if you want to stay "legit" with IBI tool.

If you go to Design tab and under properties you may be able to find the control from the drop list, then select it from there and then change its properties to have Position top and left, Size : width and height other then 0 (put value to have it display somewhere in the page where you can see it) and Display = Yes to make it display on design.
You should then be able to delete it properly.

I hope it works for Michele, but sometimes even doing that won't select the element for deletion (or property changes).

Agree with you but have to try the "right" way first

Problem solved. I had changed a fex that gets kicked off when the Run and Run Deferred buttons get clicked. I had to click on those buttons in the design view and go to the Hyperlink properties to ensure that all the parameters are binded properly to the controls that I created in the page. I am closing this case.

Thanks to all for your assistance. Have a good weekend.
