Re: Opening Tree Lists and other DOM

Tony, thanks so much for your speedy reply! (I did forget to mention that I
have also downloaded Sun's J9 java). The two sites I'm having the problem
with are both universities where I teach online, and unfortunately are
password protected.

The first is www.capella.edu, which uses WebCT as its platform and requires
only IE 5.5 or better along with jre 1.4.7 or better.

The second is www.westwoodonline.edu which uses IE but will accept Opera,
Mozilla, or Firefox, but not NetFront.

Each of these sites is rich with tree list menus that open either lists of
posted items (links) or that open new windows with threaded discussion
groups. I have just implemented MultiIE's show java error options, and on
the westwoodonline site (the Capella site won't even load the front screen),
here are the errors I get:

1. As the mentoring (new employee) course homepage
(http://westwood.ecollege.com )loads,

the first Jscript runtime error is Microsoft JScript runtime error Line: 1
Character: 11 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method Source:
(null), but after clicking OK the page finishes loading apparently
successfully.

Since this page is full of frames, I then go to just one of the frames, this
one being the main course navigation page with a menu list of button icons
each labeled with a week number. As this frame opens, the message is
Microsoft JScript runtime error Line:4 Character: 0 Error: 'top.Content' is
null or not an object Source: (null)

Then, clicking on one of the week icons, the next message is: Microsoft
JScript runtime error Line: 47 Error: 'document.body.scrollTop' is null or
not an object Source: (null). With MultiIE, if I ask it to open in a new
frame, the message is: The url is not properly formatted. Please verify that
you have entered the address correctly. When I hit OK, the whole IE program
bombs. the url in that second window had been http://javascript:%20void%20.

I seem to recall reading somewhere (About.com About Web Development) about
Microsoft purposefully shipping Windows Mobile 2003SE without full java so
as to have a smaller "footprint." But this isn't functional! There must be a
solution - I hope! I've been at this for about a month. I bought this Pocket
PC (Audiovox XV6600) so I could travel without the laptop and still teach
classes.

Thanks so much for your help!

Dave
