IE 8 script Error

Hey guys

When testing my slideshows - IE8 has picked up this error

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)
Timestamp: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:42:30 UTC

Message: Object required
Line: 107
Char: 6
Code: 0


The script on line 107 is
var contentHeight = contentElement.offsetHeight;

I notice contentElement has been declared but offsetHeight has not been included anywhere else in the script function
is this important ?? or have you come across this error before

thanks,
Brad

Thanks guys appreciate your time on this - being a newbie I'm not sure how to Open a Ticket?

The above I.E. 8 warning was from this URL
[www.wizardsofozband.com]

Two other pages that have slideshows also have I.E.8 warnings

let me know what else you need

cheers,

After taking a closer look to this problem I realize that:
"The script on line 107 is
var contentHeight = contentElement.offsetHeight;"
this code is not generated by our component so the problem is not related to slideshowbox.

Actually being quite frank - the declaration of that variable/code is included in all of the HTML sample.html Template files supplied by JumpEye.

I simple copied and pasted these scripts from these sample files
Any suggestions?

thanks

That's correct,it is included but is not related to the SlideShowBox embed feature, the code just align some objects that you don't have. You can use the embed feature by signing in in the online panel(http://www.slideshowbox.com/online-panel.html).
You took our java script sample code and add it to your file. That's not correct, the code is made to work only for our samples. Anyway if you want to use our code you need to change this function getElementByID("content") with getElementByID("mainContent") function.

I really appreciate your help Kneo

That's a very useful feature-set you mentioned
I actually wasn't sure whether to use the sample scripts as I would usually use the Dreamweaver automatic embed feature

BTW your last advice on the code worked perfectly and the warning has now gone

ah well always learning
cheers
