Javascript error: Object Expected Line 54

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 27.2004

I’ve posted the function which is in the the head between <script> tags. And I’ve posted the line in the body which references the function. Line 54 is the <input> line. I’m just trying to check the values of the array and I keep getting the error Object Expected. Any help is appreciated… Thanks.

function abcd()
{
for (var i=1; i<23; i++)
alert(regionarray[i]);
}

<body>
<form name=”theform”>
<input name=”thetext” type=”text” id=”Q5A” size=”59″ maxlength=”255″ onClick=”JavaScript: abcd();”>
</form>
</body>

@ExuroMay 27.2004 — is the abcd() function the only one on your page? If not, you may be missing a } or something...

@legionbaauthorMay 27.2004 — above the function I have the following assignments.

var regionarray = New Array(23);

regionarray[1]="Alberta"

regionarray[2]="Alberta"

regionarray[3]="Atlantic"

regionarray[4]="Atlantic"

regionarray[5]="BC"

regionarray[6]="BC & Northern"

regionarray[7]="BC-1"

regionarray[8]="BC-4"

regionarray[9]="Central Canada"

regionarray[10]="Eastern Canada"

regionarray[11]="GTA"

regionarray[12]="GTA Central"

regionarray[13]="GTA East"

regionarray[14]="GTA West"

regionarray[15]="National"

regionarray[16]="National"

regionarray[17]="OEN"

regionarray[18]="Ontario"

regionarray[19]="Ontario"

regionarray[20]="OSW"

regionarray[21]="Praries"

regionarray[22]="Quebec"

regionarray[23]="Quebec"

When I remove those lines, the error disappears.

@TheBearMayMay 27.2004 — Well, it may be nothing, but JS arrays start at 0, so by requesting an array of 23 items your index should run from 0-22. Thus, regionarray[23]="Quebec" is invalid.

@legionbaauthorMay 27.2004 — Just so things are a little clearer. Here's the file as it is now. I know the error has something to do with the array. I'm not sure what though. I'm relatively unfamiliar with JavaScript. The error I get is Object Expected. It goes away if I eliminate the array.

@TheBearMayMay 27.2004 — Try making New new, i.e.

var regionarray = New Array();

should be

var regionarray = new Array();
