Hi,
I’m using MooTools ([COLOR=#0000ff]www.mootools.net[/COLOR]) javascript library for a drop
down navigation in my website. I also use SWFObject to insert Flash
elements throughout my page.
This, so far, works fine.
But the moment I click on a link in the navigation (which directs to a
new page), I get an error message appear just before the page url changes.
I don’t understand why this happens but I can’t put the site live
until I resolve the issue?
The error is “Object doesn’t support this method or property”?
Here is a link to the online version, you can see (if your internet explorer is setup to show all errors) the problem when you use the side navigation to click around other pages…
[COLOR=#810081]http://www.storm-media.co.uk/storm-media.co.uk/[/COLOR]
Firefox and Safari has the problem but doesn’t stop the page from changing to the new page, whereas my IE is setup to stop and show all errors.
The problem is something to do with the SWFObject method
swfobject.embedSWF("")
and someone mentioned that this method uses it’s own internal DomContentLoaded event and that the swfobject.embed() method is conflicting with the MooTools DomContentLoaded event.
I’ve tried moving the SWFObject code under all other scripts but that hasn’t worked?
Any help would be appreciated!
Kind regards,
Mark
My code is as follows (I’ve removed irrelevant code)…
