Yeah, they changed the API and I just haven’t bothered to update my code. Got bored with being able to own the whole thing.

Thank you sir ….

var item = element.parent(); — FAIL

I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out, then you saved the day, thanks.

Thanks very much for this. I had no idea how to fix that error, and this did it perfectly!

You saved my bacon today – thanks! I was doing something with complex object structures that was failing and IE and I was not looking forward to ripping my code apart to find it. Thanks to this post, it was certainly my poorly-named variable.

Comment on MonoTouch and UIImage.FromFile by Driss

I’m having a NullPointerException that I can’t figure out, as the img is not null, here’s the code
// Set the image for the Move Up button and the Move Down button
UIImage img = UIImage.FromFile(“Images/UpArrow.png”);

if (img == null) {
Console.WriteLine(“Resource – UpArrow.png was not found”);
}
else {
btnUp.SetImage(img, UIControlState.Normal);
}

I get to the btnUp.SetImage and it tanks with a Null, any ideas? The file is there, marked as content and the img is NOT null. btnUp is not null as well.

Thank you sir! I’d like to echo the sentiments of JimboJones, Troy, Andy et al.

Since I am not aware of any debug tools for IE6 I was about to embark on an evening of writing alert(‘got here’); statements, but thought I’d use Google first, this was result number 2 for “object doens’t support this action” and it was spot on.

I had a local variable called ‘item’ which I renamed to ‘thing’ and it all started working

It is interesting in that all day long I have been testing code on IE8 that
has worked on *most* browsers rather transparently for a good year or so.

With out fault every time IE8 en counters a “for var in” statement it is throwing an “Object doesn’t support this action” error.
ON EVERY SINGLE “for (var XXX in YYY) ” statement, PERIOD!

I can try:
for (var sangfroid in smurf) {
alert(smurf[sangfroid]);
}
And every time :
Object doesn’t support this action!

Thanks – also (just in case anyone else is struggling) note that this takes a file name – not a path name – it doesn’t work if you start to use paths!
