Error: 'document.reply.response.createTextRange' is null or not an object

[kevc978]

Hi All,

Ive been racking my brains for hours and tried SOOO many sites, im having a problem with a relatively old helpdesk script, the developer ditched it a year ago, and we still use it due to the amount of info it contains.

Anyway, the javascript code is as follows

<script language='JavaScript'>
function getActiveText(selectedtext) {
text = (document.all) ? document.selection.createRange().text : document.getSelection();
if (selectedtext.createTextRange) {
selectedtext.caretPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
}
return true;
}
function quick(Quick) {
if (Quick != 0) {
if (document.reply.response.createTextRange && document.reply.response.caretPos) {
var caretPos = document.reply.response.caretPos;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? Quick + ' ' : Quick;
} else {
document.reply.response.value+=Quick
}
document.reply.response.focus();
document.reply.quickselect.selectedIndex = 0;
}
}
</script>



Later on, we have a ListBox with the following




<textarea name='response' rows=10 cols=77 wrap=VIRTUAL onChange=getActiveText(this) onclick=getActiveText(this)
onFocus=getActiveText(this)></textarea><br>

<select onChange='quick(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)' name='quickselect'>

<option value='0'>Quick Response</option>
<option>-----------</option>
<option value='Testing Quick Response'>Test</option>

</select></td>


I dont know whats wrong :(
Anyone help me out a little?
