Javascript error (SCRIPT5022) in IE10 - javascript

I wrote this code:
AjxException.reportScriptError =
function(ex) {
if (AjxException.reportScriptErrors && AjxException.scriptErrorHandler && !(ex
instanceof AjxException)) {
AjxException.scriptErrorHandler(ex);
}
throw ex;
};
it's fine in all browsers including IE9,8 but I got this error in IE10:
SCRIPT5022: InvalidCharacterError
mentioned throw ex;
Why this happens in IE10 and how could I solve this?

eventually, I figured out what was wrong with the codes:
the javascript code was written for old versions of IE: IE7, IE8, IE9 and used this line:
var ninput = document.createElement(AjxEnv.isIE ? ["<INPUT type='",type,"'>"].join("") :
"INPUT");
in order to create INPUT element. it works fine in older versions of IE but not in IE10.
So, I had to use this one instead:
var ninput = document.createElement((AjxEnv.isIE && !AjxEnv.isIE10up)? ["<INPUT
type='",type,"'>"].join("") : "INPUT");
now, it's working.

Are your files saved without a BOM (Byte Order Mark)? Those can often throw off parsers and wreak havoc.
I'd also recommend chopping up your code in to as many lines as possible to determine which line has the issue and then remove it for testing purposes and that way you'll be able to quickly determine what the issue is.
For example you may be referring to an object of the wrong type (working with an array and the object happens to be a string for example) so if you remove an object and it works (or works slightly better) try alert('typeof myObject = '+typeof myObject); to give you some further insight.
Also it looks like you have multiple instances of ex, make sure you aren't using a string and a function both named ex.

jQuery & IE7+ unexpected behaviour with cached $objects

I have just noticed an issue that appears to be affecting all versions of IE (tested 7-10) but not Chrome or FF (Windows 7). The issue occurs when I cache a jquery object and then remove its original target.
The code below is essentially rearranging some images in divs in such a way that the selected image comes first, but I am not using a holder div so it is all being done in situ. I would rather not complicate matters by resorting to converting the html to a string, I suspect this may be a well known issue that I just don't know the search terms for so if that is the case please enlighten me!
$lightbox_gallery = $('.gallery-lightbox .lightbox-gallery');
$image = $lightbox_gallery.find('img[data-id=' + image.id + ']').parent();
$image_after = $image.nextAll();
$image_before = $lightbox_gallery.find('> div:first').nextUntil($image);
console.log($image.html()); //returns a string
$lightbox_gallery.html('');
console.log($image.html()); //returns ''
// this works fine in almost anything but IE. Maybe also safari on mac?
$lightbox_gallery.append($image).append($image_after).append($image_before);
Edit: Solved it using the clone function http://jsfiddle.net/27DKZ/4/
What does your HTML look like? I've never seen a problem like this.. Keep in mind that IE cannot handle the console.log() function..

jQuery SVG plugin transform animation error

I'm trying to use the jQuery SVG plugin to animate some stuff — scaling and whatnot. I'm totally new to SVG.
var params = {};
params['svgTransform'] = ['scale(1)', 'scale(1.5)'];
$('#TX', svg.root()).animate(params);
This is copied almost verbatim from the developer of the plugin.
Yet when it runs, I'm getting this:
4TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'f.easing[i.animatedProperties[this.prop]](this.state,c,0,1,i.duration)')
Any ideas?
I think you should check for existence of an element with ID="TX" in your SVG document.
Anyway, I must say that sometimes I found very difficult to remember where to code specific behaviour: there are so many choices, among XML (plain SVG), plain JavaScript+DOM (but what DOM?), jQuery specific, jQuery+SVG.... And all of these with their details... It's daunting! I hope it will be rewarding in the end.
BTW I found that Chrome give a good IDE to workout problems (I'm on Linux now...). Hit Ctrl+Shift+I to enter the debugger and see whatever error...
maybe it doesn't support array inside animate arg object. can you try :
var params = {};
params['svgTransform'] = 'scale(1.5)';
$('#TX', svg.root()).animate(params);

"SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'url' " in IE only

I am getting the following error in IE (but not Firefox):
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'url'
AjaxSetup.js?version=7b8dcb65-17d1-437f-9594-0621c779427c, line 28 character 2
There are several other posts with errors like this (for other objects besides url), but all of them seem to have answers along the lines of "such a function doesn't exist in jquery" or "such a function is invalid to use in this context", and neither seems to apply to my situation at least as far as I can tell.
The function containing the line number that the error is referring to is:
function redirectToLogin() {
var redirUrl = $.url().attr("path");
if ($.url().attr("query").length > 0) {
redirUrl += "?" + $.url().attr("query");
}
top.window.location = "/Shared/Logout?redir=" + encodeURIComponent(redirUrl);
return;
}
where line 28 is the second line of the function above.
More strangely, while on the offending page (from which the above function gets called), when I type $.url() or $.url().attr("path") into the IE Developer Tools console, it returns the correct object and string, respectively. The values also seem to stay correct if I "watch" them.
Any help would be much appreciated!
EDIT:
I found a workaround:
function redirectToLogin() {
top.window.location = "/Shared/Logout?redir=" + encodeURIComponent(location.pathname + location.search);
return;
}
This seems to work and achieve the same thing, so I'm posting it in case it helps someone. However, I would still be curious to find out why the original code using jquery was not working.
I would guess if you say it works in the console that the code is trying to use it before $.url() is initialized. Is the url JavaScript included before the AjaxSetup file?

IE Object doesn't support this property or method

This is probably the beginning of many questions to come.
I have finished building my site and I was using Firefox to view and test the site. I am now IE fixing and am stuck at the first JavaScript error which only IE seems to be throwing a hissy about.
I run the IE 8 JavaScript debugger and get this:
Object doesn't support this property or method app.js, line 1 character 1
Source of app.js (first 5 lines):
var menu = {};
menu.current = "";
menu.first = true;
menu.titleBase = "";
menu.init = function(){...
I have tested the site in a Webkit browser and it works fine in that.
What can I do to fix this? The site is pretty jQuery intensive so i have given up any hope for getting it to work in IE6 but I would appreciate it working in all the others.
UPDATE: I have upload the latest version of my site to http://www.frankychanyau.com
In IE8, your code is causing jQuery to fail on this line
$("title").text(title);
in the menu.updateTitle() function. Doing a bit of research (i.e. searching with Google), it seems that you might have to use document.title with IE.
Your issue is (probably) here:
menu.updateTitle = function(hash){
var title = menu.titleBase + ": " + $(hash).data("title");
$("title").text(title); // IE fails on setting title property
};
I can't be bothered to track down why jQuery's text() method fails here, but it does. In any case, it's much simpler to not use it. There is a title property of the document object that is the content of the document's title element. It isn't marked readonly, so to set its value you can simply assign a new one:
document.title = title;
and IE is happy with that.
It is a good idea to directly access DOM properties wherever possible and not use jQuery's equivalent methods. Property access is less troublesome and (very much) faster, usually with less code.
Well, your line 1 certainly looks straight forward enough. Assuming the error line and number is not erroneous, it makes me think there is a hidden character in the first spot of your js file that is throwing IE for a fit. Try opening the file in another text editor that may support display of normally hidden characters. Sometimes copying/pasting the source into a super-basic text-editor, like Notepad, can sometimes strip out non-displayable characters and then save it back into place directly from Notepad.

IE won't split string with Javascript

I have the following code:
$('#smallcart .plusone').live('click',function(){
var id = $(this).attr('id');
articlenr = id.split('_')[1];
});
this works fine in FF, safari, Chrome, however in IE (7 and 8) it throws an error on the split-function (this property or method is not supported by this object).
if I alert the 'id'-variable I get something like plus_5751. (so I want to get the '5751' part)
if I do alert(typeof(id)) I get String as an answer...
Maybe somebody can point me to the right answer?
Thx
The split works pretty well in IE. The problem is the part left of the equal-sign. It's an object with all input-fields having the name articlenr and therefor IE quits with 'this property or method is not supported by this object' when you're trying to assign a string to it.
Your code works just fine for me in Internet Explorer - as it should be expected to. The problem must lie elsewhere, perhaps something is overriding String.prototype.split?. You can see a working example of your code at http://jsfiddle.net/AndyE/6K77Y/. The first thing to check for is any Internet Explorer specific code in your scripts.
I would make one small improvement for efficiency. $(this).attr('id'); is pretty much the long winded way of writing this.id. It's slower, because a new jQuery object has to be created and then the attr function has to run. Without it, your code can be compressed more, whilst still remaining very readable, if you like:
$('#smallcart .plusone').live('click',function(){
articlenr = this.id.split('_')[1];
});
Try renaming your variable 'id' to something else. IE doesn't like it when you name things in your scripts the same as items in the DOM.
Never mind, that seems to have not been the issue in this case. I have, however, had issues in the past with IE specific bugs caused by variable names.
