Hi,

I get the following error from Announcer when using IE8 to view my site’s home page:

Message: Object required

Line: 43

Char: 2

Code: 0

URI: http://[site]/wp-content/plugins/announcer/announcement_close.js?ver=3.1.4

It works fine in Firefox. Any suggestions?

Did you give a ID name for the announcement box ?? this seems to the bug !!! i think so.

If it re-occurs, give me the page URL, i’ll find the bug.

The ID is set to ‘announcement’ in the options page for the Announcer plugin.

The line that is throwing the error is:

Code:

document.getElementById(tgId).style.display = ‘block’;

If I do the following:

Code:

alert(tgId);

I get a popup that says announcement, which is the name of the id that I’ve set on the options page.

If you need to see the error, try http://mancini.brandonu.ca/ with IE8.

I got no error when i tested the plugin in IE8 and I cant access your site !!

I Checked the plugin in this page —-> http://vaakash.kodingen.com/blog/?p=1

If the problem re occurs replace the lines

Code:

if(toggleGetCookie(tgId) == null || toggleGetCookie(tgId) == ‘show’){
toggleHide(tgId);
}else{
toggleShow(tgId);
}

with

Code:

if(tdId.length > 0){
if(toggleGetCookie(tgId) == null || toggleGetCookie(tgId) == ‘show’){
toggleHide(tgId);
}else{
toggleShow(tgId);
}
}

Please check using this code. But in native, there is no error or i didn’t get any error to debug.

Unfortunately, that didn’t work.

Further information:

It’s only happening when the announcement is turned off (ie, the plugin is installed, but there is currently no announcment being displayed).

We’re using it by placing the code

Code:

in the template file for the site’s home page.

It seems to be a problem with the line

Code:

document.getElementById(tgId).style.display = ‘block’;

in the toggleShow() function.

Is it possible that, if the announcement is turned off, the

Code:

isn’t generated?

[Aakash Chakravarthy]

In he announcement_close.js replace the lines

Code:

function toggleInitiliaze(tgName){
if(toggleGetCookie(tgName) == ‘hide’){
toggleHide(tgName);
}else{
toggleShow(tgName);
}
}

with

Code:

function toggleInitiliaze(tgName){
if(!document.getElementById(tgName)){
if(toggleGetCookie(tgName) == ‘hide’){
toggleHide(tgName);
}else{
toggleShow(tgName);
}
}
}

Hope this will work. Also make your site active

I used

Code:

if(document.getElementById(tgName))

and it worked. Thanks!

Happy that it worked. But it is strange problem. You should not get a alert. The browser should take this silently. Anyway happy that this worked !
