The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Object 'is undefined'.... intermittent error...need a clue please.....

Asked by SamJolly in JavaScript

Tags: , ,

Hi All,

I use a great little Javascript Calendar component called JSCalendar. We have this running with 100s of users without a problem. On three machines we have encountered

'Calendar is undefined' which is really strange.

The first occurrence was with a desktop running IE5, and when updated to IE6 the issue went away.

We now have 2 laptops with the same problem, different site. These laptops are running IE6.0.29 on Windows 2000, patched to date, and apparently have the same config as all the desktops in the same company which all work fine... what????

So for the code.

In the <head> section I reference the Calendar code files.

<link href="../../../Js/Other/JSCalendar/calendar-theme.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>      
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../Js/Other/JSCalendar/calendar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../Js/Other/JSCalendar/lang/calendar-en.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../Js/Other/JSCalendar/calendar-setup.js"></script>

In the body I have a textbox with an arrow image to the right of it which when clicked brings up the calendar. When you click on the calendar on the relevant date, the value goes into the textbox. The calendar is a CSS layer so no need for a popup.

This is the calling code in the <body>

<div id="FromDateValue">
<input id="tbFromDate" name="FromDate" style="width:157px;height:19px" type="text" class="REM_FormTextboxGo" value="01/01/2004" size="16" maxlength="20" onBlur="blnIsDirty=true;"/>
</div>
<div id="FromDateGo">
   <a id="HlImgFromDateGo" href="#">
      <img id="ImgFromDateGo" onClick="blnIsDirty=true;" src="../../../img/ddlb.gif" alt="Click Here to Pick up the date" border="0"/>
   </a>

   <script type="text/javascript">
    Calendar.setup({
        inputField     :    "tbFromDate",     // id of the input field
        ifFormat       :    "%d/%m/%Y",      // format of the input field
        daFormat       :    "%d/%m/%Y",      // format of the input field            
        button         :    "HlImgFromDateGo",  // trigger for the calendar (button ID)
        align          :    "Bl",           // alignment (defaults to "Bl")
        singleClick    :    true
    });
   </script>

</div>

I appreciate that you may be unfamiliar with this component, but I thought someone may have an idea of why this intermittent JS error would occur, expecially when 98% of the users are fine, so nothing intrinsically wrong with the app.

Any ideas would be hugely appreciated,

Sam
