Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected

Posted 03 June 2011 - 08:47 AM

Hey Everyone!

So, Ive decided to do some tutorials and and work through Microsoft's Javascript Step by Step book. In doing so I have worked through this example and continue to get "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected" I believe it's directing me to line 23 for the problem. My problem is that I do not know what the problem is. I'm assuming that I am missing something in regards to a setting in the IDE (VS 2010), which I am fairly new to. Not really sure...

Thanks in advance for help!
