Comment on IE “Object doesn’t support this action” by Paul S

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!

Hey, make sure you click on the play button to play the song. Then a link should appear above the name of the song. Use that to download the song.

I should update the script to actually do this automatically. I just hadn’t thought about it at the time.

I’ll take a look and see if it’s stopped working for some other reason (Entirely possible).

Son of a …!
I had the same problem in &#*$@! IE8… turns out it’s my variable called item that caused the problem too.. I was certain at first that it was jquery that wasnt getting loaded properly in IE8… good thing i found this article by chance!

Thanks!

PrintPlace.com does really great work. I got 1000 full color biz cards for only $21! And I got to design them myself – I HATE THOSE CHEESY TEMPLATES!!! I say check them out. Bus cards start at $15.50 – not bad at all! And you can pick up if you are in the DFW area – saves shipping.
