Object Required Error.

Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:02 PM

I've been ask to do a pasting an copied image from clipboard to Web Form and directly upload in web server. I've found some TUTORIAL about it, But its been dead for almost 4 years, I need someone to guide me, Im new in programming im currently taking my Internship as a programmer of php.

I could paste the image from Clipboard to Web Form, But when i start uploading it onto the server, i got this error "Object Required". I can't seem find a way to fix it.

function uplImages()
            {                                         
              flagUploadingStarted = true;
                    // Uploading Image 1 if its present.
                    if(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImageFileName1.Id%>").value != "")
                    {            
                        uploadImage1(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImageFileName1.Id%>").value) // This where i get the "Object Required"
                    }
            }

Thanks. Anyhelp would be really appreciated.

I don't know a thing about ActiveX, so I can't help you there, but I can tell you that the code you posted, as well as that tutorial, seem to be using ASP.NET, not PHP.

The control ClipboardActiveX was made on VB.NET , im using it for my module in the webpage to allow me to paste the image to the webform. Anyways, Thanks for the info, :oops:

didn't know yet the difference from PHP to ASP.NET.

Why are you using ASP in your Javascript getElementById call? The Javascript can do that on its own.

function uplImages() {
    flagUploadingStarted = true;

    // Uploading Image 1 if its present.
    if (document.getElementById("myControl1").value != "") {
        uploadImage1(document.getElementById("myControl1").value)
    }
}

Just put the ID of whatever control you're looking for into the parenthesis (I assume the control's ID is "hdnImageFileName1", so that's what you'd put in there).

I already tried using the control of the div

   uploadImage1(document.getElementById("myControl1").value)

And by using that code, i'll be able to Paste the image in the clipboard which the user copy (or using any Image Editing Tool, like Window Snipping Tool) onto the webform (onto the selected div) But , it won't allow me to Upload the image into the web server, and the results is always displaying this

 <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="HttpUtil1.aspx.vb" Inherits="HttpUtil1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="frmHttpUtil" runat="server">
        <div>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

This is the content of HttpUtil1.aspx, and onto that page should i be directed when i click "Upload Image To the Server". And, Nothing uploaded in to the server.

Thanks for the reply h4nnib4l. Hope you could help me in my problem :clap:

I don't know what you mean by that, and I don't know why using the value of an elements "ID" attribute won't give you that element to work with. Do you know what's happening when you try to upload that image? Have you tried something like Fiddler to watch the exchanges between the client and the server?

It may be that the getElementByID() is failing because of all the added fluff that ASP.NET WebForms puts on a control ID. You could try this and see if it works:

 uploadImage1(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImageFileName1.ClientID%>").value)

Also for us to really help you you're going to need to post the full code so we can look it over.

Also for us to really help you you're going to need to post the full code so we can look it over.

I already tried this one, but still no luck :nervous:

And, for the refference I posted the code that im currently working on.

Ahh, good point rgfirefly24. OP, you'll need to set ClientIDMode="static" on the control(s) that you're trying to access with the getElementById() call. So change this guy: <asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hdnImageFileName1" /> into this:

<asp:HiddenField 
    runat="server" 
    ID="hdnImageFileName1" 
    ClientIDMode="static" />

That will prevent WebForms from creating what I've always called the fully qualified control name, ie formName.divName.hdnImageFileName1 or whatever...

EDIT: fixed inline code tag

Thanks for the response h4nnib4l, But when i try adding ClientIDMode="static" still not getting image upload in the web server. Always got an error says, Object Required.

  function uplImages()
            {                                               
                    flagUploadingStarted = true;
                     
                    // Uploading Image 1 if its present.
                    if(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImageFileName1.ClientID%>").value != "") // Error occurs here, "Object Required"
                    {           
                        uploadImage1(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImageFileName1.ClientId%>").value);
                    }
            }
