Paul, It occurs on a somewhat random basis. Basiclly when adding more than 2

in others.

Any body have any ideas?
I am not seeing that behavior.
What is your 3rd web part? Maybe it's specific to that kind?
What about the content? I just entered some simple text: "first ctwp"
and "second ctwp" respectively.

I am seeing the same behavior when there are more than 2 document
library web parts on my MOSS 2007 site. Were you able to resolve this
issue? I cannot readily reproduce the issue in my test or dev
environment however was able to do a restore of my prod to dev and see
the issue. I am using next to zero customizations. Please let me
know if you are still seeing the issue or how you corrected it, thank
you!!!!
Does anyone have an update on this issue?

Hey Stephen,

I am having the exact same issue ... WSS 3, SharePoint 2007 ...

When attempting to edit a web part I receive the following pop-up
error ...

Line: 2135
Char: 4
Error: 'style.display' is null or not an object

When I move the web part to a lower part of the page (for example) I
receive another pop-up error:

Error: 84
Unspecified error

When I attempt to move the web part to another zone I receive the
generic SharePoint error page saying: "An unexpected error has
occurred." ... and it will not more the web part to another zone


I was having the exact same problem. IE7 returns a "'style.display' is null or not an object" error whenever I try to use the drop down menu on a content web part after I've populated it with content. Funny enough, it didn't happen every time or with all my content editors.

I did some testing and it appears that if you copy the entire text from another web part displayed in IE (I've only tried from other content editors) it will copy not just the text, but it's formatting _and_ a <div> tag. It's this tag that causes the problem in my case. After removing it (using Source Editor before exiting Edit Mode), the content editor drop down works fine.

With the error appearing the source code looks like this;

<td class="ms-WPBorder" valign="top">
<div WebPartID="8d6c1262-f5c7-4785-955e-d30a71eb3256" HasPers="false" id="WebPartWPQ2" width="100%" class="ms-WPBody" SelectedWebPart="true" style="" ><FONT color=#ffffff>
<DIV class=ms-WPBody id=WebPartWPQ2 WebPartID="e11467e9-5f5d-482a-80ac-76dde74fb48e" HasPers="false" width="100%" allowDelete="false">
<P><FONT color=#ffffff>...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#ffffff>...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#ffffff>...</FONT></P></DIV></FONT></div></td>

Pasting the text from IE to Word, and then into the Rich Text editor yields this source code:

<td class="ms-WPBorder" valign="top">
<div WebPartID="8d6c1262-f5c7-4785-955e-d30a71eb3256" HasPers="false" id="WebPartWPQ2" width="100%" class="ms-WPBody" SelectedWebPart="true" style="" >
<P class=MsoNormal>....</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>...</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>...</P></div></td>

Notice the double Div tag in the first code, with the same id.

I don't know if this is the case for everybody else, but it solved the problem for me by using Word (or any other text processor) as an in-between step for copy and paste to strip out any formatting.

I apologize if I'm being unclear. Please feel free to comment.
