Yet another "Permission Denied" IE problem

Snib · November 4th, 2004, 08:29 PM

Hey all,

I am using a <select> element with an onchange attribute. It calls a function that changes the size of another element in the same form.

FF takes it fine and does exactly what I want it to without any errors. IE gives me this "Permission Denied" crud. I figure it must be something about SP2 and its "added security"...?

Thanks,

Can you show a small example, it's all in one page so there's no cross domain stuff?

Yeah it's all in one domain, in one page, that's why this is really weird...

This is almost exactly what I'm doing:

<select name='by' onchange='checkSelectBy(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value'>
    <option value='0'>selection 1</option>
    <option value='1'>selection 2</option>
    <option value='2'>selection 3</option>
</select>

I get an error "Permission Denied" on the line of the opening <select> tag.

Thanks Joe,

Works for me:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Permission Denied</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkSelectBy(Value)
{
  var oDiv = document.getElementById("divText");
  oDiv.style.width = Value + "px"; 
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select name='by' onchange='checkSelectBy(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);'>
    <option value='50'>50px</option>
    <option value='100'>100px</option>
    <option value='200'>200px</option>
    <option value='300' selected>300px</option>
</select>
<br><div id="divText" style="border: 3px inset #dd0000;position: relative;width: 300px">Text here</div>
</body>
</html>

Hey Joe,

I changed nothing, and now suddenly it works.

I'll let you know if I find anything about this problem, but for now it is working.

Thanks for your time,

prolly too late for this, but you might have fixed an error that you didnt pay attention to fixing lol.

If this is a direct copy of your code that you placed Snib, you're missing an ending ')' in your first line of the opening select statement.

<select name='by' onchange='checkSelectBy(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value'>

should be

<select name='by' onchange='checkSelectBy(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);'>

Hey there,

Yeah, my bad. However, the code I posted is not direct copy-paste code.

But, like I said, now it's working :-D

Thanks anyway,
