HELP! Javscript woes, error supression

[big_al]

Hi,

I am dynamicaly creating a hierarchial tree that works fine, except two annoying errors that pop up when the pages loads but not while anyone is interacting with the tree.

Now I thought I could insert some error supression code so the end user does not get annoyed by this but for some @%#@@# reason it won't supress the error.

here is a link to the page http://test.itsyou.info/TESTS/tree.asp

The supression scripts I have tried are these (and then some)
[VBS]
var errors = new errorObjMaker();
var count = 0;
function myError(msg,url,ln)
{
errors[count] = msg;
errors[count += 1] = ln;
count += 1;
return true;
} // end function "myError"
function errorObjMaker() {}
function rubItIn()
{
var str = "MESSAGE \\ LINE \n\n";
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
str += errors[i];
str += (((i+1) % 2) == 0) ? "\n\n" : "\n";
} // end for "i"
document.forms[0].disp.value = str;
} // end function "rubItIn"
window.onerror = myError; [/VBS]


[VBS]
function errorsuppressor(){
return true
}
window.onerror=errorsuppressor[/VBS]

I hope someone knows whats going wrong here, but I am at a complete loss.

Thanks In advance

Error supression is NOT your friend!

If you supporess errors in the HideDisplay function then if you get a genuine error then you'll be supressing it.

If you WERE to suppress the error - You should use "Try - catch" methods.

Your ASP is buggy also - and falls over 1 in 3 times.

Add a conditional control to the function HideDisplay, see if that does it:

function HideDisplay(oItems) {
	if (oItems.style) oItems.style.display = "none";
        }

Maybe I should have been a little clearer, I just want to surpress it while we track down the problem and fine tune the entire script, just makes things a little quicker.

As for the ASP error's, not my code my hosts ADO dll's have been corupted somehow and they're looking in to it

Thanks for the tip I'll give that a go.

Unfortunatly putting the condiditional control in the HideDisplay function..

Any other ideas?
