Question

Object required

Asked by: GrahamSkan

I am very new to Web development, but very VB, and am trying to display a full-sized image via a click on a thumbnail.

The code displays the thumbnail image. I hope to see the full-sized image when I click on it, but I get an 'Object expected' error on this line:

onclick="goImgWin('J:\My Pictures\Photos\2009\2009_1010\JustInCase\2009_1010_110417.jpg',240,302,100,50);return false;"><img

There are two pages in the code:

Page: new_page_.htm
 
<html>
 
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>

The error may be due to goImgWin not yet defined. It is defined below. Move the script up.

Gary Davis

by: GrahamSkanPosted on 2009-10-26 at 18:20:54ID: 25668517

Thank you, but I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Can you reword the advice, please?

by: gardavisPosted on 2009-10-27 at 05:33:31ID: 25671645

Your example seems to include two pages in one. The 2nd page has the javascript but does not seem to be included into the first. Since the goImgWin is not defined, you get the object error.

The javascript could be included inline within the 1st page or saved in a .js file that is pulled into the first with a <script src="..."></script> statement.

Ignore my initial comment - I did not notice that there were two files in your code block.

Gary

Thank you.

I have now put the JavaScript into the same page, but it gives an 'Access is denied' error on this line:

Does the access denied happen when clicking the image or the intial page display?

Maybe it can't find J:\My Pictures\Photos\2009\2009_1010\JustInCase\2009_1010_110417.jpg - are you sure you want to specify the actual filesystem location instead of the virtual path URL?

Are you using Firefox or IE8? Use F12 to help debug the script.

Gary

by: GrahamSkanPosted on 2009-10-27 at 15:09:28ID: 25678166

It happens when clicking the image.

I am still trying to get the mechanism working, so I haven't yet moved the files into the site folder.

Firefox is my default browser. I am developing in Frontpage and was using the preview facility.

F12 opens IE 6.0. The code works there, and opens a new IE window to display the larger picture. Thank you.

Is it likely to be a Frontpage restriction of some sort?

by: gardavisPosted on 2009-10-27 at 15:35:41ID: 25678457

Change the image to a web image instead of the J: image and see if it works. Also, try the J: image in your browser and see if it displays.

F12 is the developer tool (Firebug in Firefox (needs to be installed) or IE Developer Toolbar in IE8).

I am not sure about the Frontpage issue; consider using Visual Studio Express.

Gary

Thanks very much. I am up on the first rung now.
