Ugly JS error

Hi,
I'm building up my own script and I use some JS codes. I didn't do those codes since I don't write JS. It gives me the snippeted two errors. I tried to get to those errors but I couldn't. Could anyone help me please?!!

Line:40
Char:2
Code:0
Error:'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
URL:http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
 
Line:22
Char:2
Code:0
Error:'null' is null or not an object
URL:http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

the 2nd one is probably a result of the first one... wha thte first one means that on line 40, a "document.getElementById()" call is made, which references an ID of a page element that does not exist during that script's runtime and within the scope of said script. Can you post the HTML of this page (including the jS)?

You need to give us some more context. Is this error occuring in a PhpMyAdmin installation? You might want to check if you are running the latest version then.

The first error usualy means the js is trying to get to some HTML that doesn't exist (yet).
