Object doesn't support this property or method

Env - 6.5 on solaris.

I'm using a callout to get values from database and write them into some hidden fields in the DCT.

The callout is basically used to display geographic locations for a certain region. Region is a like a continenet and geographic locations are like all countries/states/cities within the region.

The multi select box shows all countries,states and cities within a region, depending on the region selected by user.

Default region "Africa/Middle East", is selected automatically,when creating a new dcr.

Attached
1. Html returned by the callout
2. DCT
3. word doc - Error I get on save and image of how the callout output looks.

Case 1
a. I click on the callout. All destinations for default a default region (Africa/Middle East) are shown in the multi select window.
b. I select a bunch of values from the multiselect dropdown and click OK link on callout.
c. Values get written into the hidden items of DCT, successfully
d. I save the dcr

Case 1 works totally fine. It saves the values in the hidden items etc.

-----------------
Case 2 - PROBLEM
-------------------
a. Same as Case 1
b. The only different thing I do this time, is that, I change the region by clicking on one of the links shown in the callout. All links are creating the problem. Even if i click on "Africa/middle East"
c. So after I select a different region, the javascript changes all values in the multi select for the region selected.
d. I choose a bunch of values and click ok.
e. Values get written into the hidden items of DCT, successfully (Checked by keeping the items visible while debugging)
f. I save the dcr. Well - Here's the problem. After entering the new filename for the DCR, when I click "OK", I get an error (see word doc), that says "Object doesn't support this property or method"

So I guess Im loosing some kind of information, when I click on a link, on the callout. But I'm not sure what, because I'm able to write back the values in both the cases

Any tips / help would be good.

NOTE - pls ignore duplicate values in the multiselect.

Thanks

Hi,
Did you try looking into the iw-webd logs or local/logs about details of the error.
It will help if you can attach the logs also.

This is clearly a javascript -- i.e. client side -- error. Client side errors are not logged.

What stands out to me is that in function areaobj and regionobj, you're using "this". I'm wondering if your naming convention is colliding with Javascript's own reserved words. In this case, "this" will typically refer to the current document or object. So, I think the typing might be off.

What if you were to declare what your object is in the first line of these functions, set your values, and then return the object?

Hi -

Changed my code to assign values in a different style. Not using "this" anymore. I still get the same error as before though.

Just found out that - If I comment the line

"reg_sel.setValue(region_selected);" in my code, it works for case 2 also.

The line is one of the writes to a hidden value in the dct.

There's 4 writes in total that i do. And all of them are successful as far as wrting values into the DB.

Any clues?

Is storereg a hidden field? If so, what happens if you try to alert the value of that field just before the line which you have commented out? Also, please ATTACH your DCT (pasting so much text is horrible for others who read this thread and want to help -- often, it's more convenient for readers if you attach large blocks of text like this). I'm wondering if your path is well-formed.
