ASP error when loading Scripting.Dictionary object
I'm occasionally getting errors that look like this:
Microsoft VBScript runtime
Object required: ''
The line where the error occurs looks something like this:
Earlier in the code, I setup the object like this:
The strange thing is, this works fine 99% of the time. But maybe 2-3 times a day, I get these errors reported (this is out of hundreds of daily users).
I am using the dictionary object pretty heavily, for language translations. The translations are stored in a database and then loaded into the dictionary object, then written to the browser. So I can easily change the text on the page to the correct language by loading the right translations into the dictionary object.
The ASP scripts where I am seeing these errors are loaded via AJAX, and several might be loaded into the main document simultaneously. But since they are distinct ASP scripts, I don't see why loading more than one at a time would cause any problem. The error sounds like the dictionary object doesn't exist, when it clearly does. Or that the object was closed.
I guess I am not really closing the dictionary objects at the end of the scripts. Could that be the problem?
Would appreciate any insight. Thank you!
