Hi all,

I have had recently strange behaviour using JavaScript and VBScript
engines, provided with Micorsoft Windows. It appears that when JS
scripting engine is used, working with objects, inside JS functions, does
not work. For example parsing code like:

function some()
{
    var cnt = someobject.count;
    ...
}
some();

will give me an error, because inside the function the result returned by
"someobject.count" is invalid ( VT_EMPTY ). I've debug the application and
"propget" for "count" is never called. But if I parse only this:

var cnt = someobject.count;

then everything is just fine. In VisualBasic all the cases are OK. Do any
of you had such behaviour using MS JavaScript and how this was solved?

Cheers
