JS error: 'null' is null or is not an object

[shooali]

Hi,

I am getting this error (null is null or is not an object) in one of our pages.
while debugging, I see it happens in

$("__onDOMContentLoaded").onreadystatechange=function(){if(this.readyState=="complete"){this.onreadystatechange=null;fireContentLoadedEvent();}}

I have searched the forum and saw posts from Sergey that the problem is inconsistency of the prototype.js file used in richfaces and the one used by tomahawk. so I have pathced tomahawk jar and put there the prototype.js file I have took from the richfaces-ui-3.1.4.jar but the problem stays. I have cleared the IE cache. nothing helps.

please advise,

thanks

Try to delete prototype js lib from tomahawk jar.
This will be a problem if you have jsf with tomahawk and with no rich components, but you can always add one rich component to your page.
By the way, using tomahawk and rich together can cause critical problems.

thanks, I will try it out.

only the richfaces jar contains prototype.js:

Any explanations?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I cannot upgrade from 3.1.2 to 3.1.4 since I get this JS error in pages with modal panel or calendar

please advice,

thanks

Do you use a4j:log on the page?

[shimonl97]

Try to remove
<context-param>
<param-name>org.richfaces.LoadScriptStrategy</param-name>
<param-value>ALL</param-value>
</context-param>

<context-param>
<param-name>org.ajax4jsf.COMPRESS_SCRIPT</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
From your XML.
I know you get performance penelty, but it works for me.

To Sergey,

I always use a4j:log on the page. The only thing that stands out in red and not always consistently is a oncomplete function error.

To Shimon,

I will try this tweak to the web.xml as well.

I have since moved to richfaces-3.20-SNAPSHOT and facelets-1.1.13 and have reduced
the incidence of JS errors under FF 2.0. IE6 is still a nightmare though IE7 is tolerable.

Hi,

To follow up on this, here is the exact error from a4j:log:

error[9:56:51,392]: Error evaluate oncomplete function undefined

The context is a form which does an ajax submit via a4j:commandButton
which is supposed to return the record # of the new record created in the DB in a modalPanel popup.

The widget follows:

<h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <a4j:commandButton id="save_rec" type="button" actionListener="#{dBCrudBean.actionSave}" value="Save"
 oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('newRecPanel')" reRender="saveidtable">
 <a4j:actionparam name="insertModeText" value="true" assignTo="#{dBCrudBean.insertModeText}"/>
 </a4j:commandButton>
 <a4j:commandButton id="clear_rec" type="reset" value="Reset"/>
 </h:panelGrid>

The modalPanel code immediately follows this widget:

<ui:include src="panels/newrecResultsPanel.xhtml"/>

and here is that code:

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
 xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
 xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j">

 <rich:modalPanel autosized="true" id="newrecResultsPanel">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="New Record Info"/>
 </f:facet>
 <f:facet name="controls">
 <h:graphicImage value="/images/close.gif" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="javascript:Richfaces.hideModalPanel('newRecResultsPanel')"/>
 </f:facet>
 <rich:dataTable value="#{dBCrudBean.myDataList}" var="sel" id="saveidtable">
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="New Request Id"/></f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{sel.relrequest}"/>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </rich:modalPanel>
</ui:composition>

The undefined oncomplete function still occurs if I place the ui:include for the modalpanel before the a4j:commandButton.

I have similar usage patterns elsewhere which successfully raise the modalPanel. Any tips?

Thanks,
Henry

Problem resolved - did not match id from showModalPanel() call to actual ui:included modalPanel.
