JavaScript errors

DellTah · April 25th, 2005, 01:05 PM

All of a sudden, over the weekend, the following errors (and others like these came up) even though last week, things were working just fine! This is quite crazy! Once again, I'm thinking it's possessed. Here are the errors:

    While executing apply Server Behavior in Recordset.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

    At line 266 of the file C:\Program Files\Macromedia\DreamweaverMX2004\Configuration\ etc. etc." Exception thrown in native function.

    While executing getComponentChildren in Connections.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

    At line 65 of file D:\Dreamweaver\etc..." Exception thrown in native function.

This comes up when I'm setting up the connection to the database file (both ODBC and OLEDB) and also when I try to create a Recordset.

please help!

This error when I try to create a RecordSet:

While executing onChange in ServerBeh4-SimpRS.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: At line 702 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamwweaver MX 2004\...\etc...."
Exception thrown in native function

I'm ready to scrap the whole thing and start over! :(

What version of Dreamweaver are you running? Did you upgrade with the latest service pack?

I have seen a lot of these errors in DW; most of them hard to reproduce / seemingly random. The latest service pack fixes some, but not all of them.

This is Dreamweaver related (as some of the engine is built with JavaScript) and not with your own pages, although certain steps / behaviors seem to trigger these errors more often...

I'm using version 7.01 already. Are there any updates (service packages) since?

Imar · April 25th, 2005, 04:24 PM

Nope, that's the latest version.....

A glimmer of hope!!...

perhaps...

Here's a link I just discovered, describing the same error! http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_19515 (scroll down to "Database connectivity fails with local ASP.NET and ASP servers")

I'll keep you..."posted"...

DellTah · April 25th, 2005, 05:32 PM

nope!!

same error exists...
I'll have to reinstall the whole kit & kaboodle...

Imar · April 26th, 2005, 02:29 PM

Yeah, it might help, although this problem is quite persistent. It might come back after you reinstall.

I have seen many of those errors (I saw a *lot* when building TheSoccerSite) and I have never been able to find out what caused them. From what I understand from others, they see the same, unreproducible behavior, so it's hard to log a bug for this at Macromedia....

Imar, here is something I found: (source: http://www.flzone.net/forum/topic.as...in+native+funt)

I am receiving the following error when I attmept to connect a database to the asp page.

While executing getComponentChildren in Connections.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 65 of file âC:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Components\Common\Connection\Co nnections.jsâ: exception throw in native funtion

Condiitons are
Running IIE local on my pc
Windows XP Pro Just upgraded

My own reply to my own problem.. I seem to have resolved the issue with the help of microsoft. The solution was a re-install of the XP Pro operating system. It seems they (Microsoft) have some know issues with the upgrade corruption the MDAC 2.8. I at the suggtion of Microsoft tried installing the MDAC 2.8 from their downloads... Since this failed to resolve the issue. I re-installed windows XP Pro and completly wiped the machine. Once done I then installed IIS and then Dreamweaver MX. This seems to have resolved all the issues.

The question is, if I have Windows 2000, does the MDAC 2.8. issue still apply?

You are right, I've reinstalled the whole program and the same error came up right away!

I don't know for sure, but I don't think this will work.

MDAC 2.8 can be installed on Win 2K without any problems, but I doubt that this will fix it. The errors you see occur not only when working with databases, but also when working with other server behaviors, client behaviors, templates etc.

So, I don't think that MDAC will fix them.....
