<function> not defined

Hello,

A very easy question I hope.

I get in Netscape javascript console the title error and "object expected" in IE error message, these on the same page, for the following code:

"
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE>Thanks</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>
....
<table><tr><center>


<td><a id = 'http://cerospig.ocean.org.il/' href = # style = 'color:blue;' onclick = "test();">Cerospig Home Page</a></td>
<td></td><td></td><td></td>



<td><a id = 'http://www.ifremer.fr/mama/' href = # style = 'color:blue;' onclick = "test();">MAMA Project</a></td>
</center></tr></table></p>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>

"

The comments are for the deferent trials.
Basically I try to redirect each browser to the same two links.
but even test() function is not working.

I'm puzzled. What is wrong?

thanks for your attention

The whole script is inside the comment tag.



Is that also included in the trials?

But you don't need the id, you can put the url in the href. That way, the link will still work even if javascript is disabled.

<a href="http://cerospig.ocean.org.il/" style="color:blue;" onclick="return RedirectMe(this.href);">Cerospig Home Page</a>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
function RedirectMe(url)
{
if (window.navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
location.href = url;
}
else {
var w = window.open(url);
w.focus();
}
return false; //cancels link action
}
</script>

But I'm curious of that script. Why do you want to open the page differently in each browser?

Thanks a lot Glenn for your fast answer,

I've tried your solution.
It links to the right places but:

Using IE ther's still "Object expected" error for the "RedirectMe('this.href')" command.
Netscape javascript console still report an Error: <function> is not defined.

The whole function codes are within the comment tags.

The reason I tried to open them diferently is that my tests showed a deferent behavior for the two browsers (as expected) Netscape opened a new browser and left the old one opened. I wanted it to be closed.

Thanks a lot again!!!

Did you remove the comment tags that enclose the <script> tag?



That comments out the whole script as if your functions never exist.

Remove the single quotes surrounding this.href

RedirectMe('this.href')

Thank you all,

Indeed the comment tags were in the way.
I've missplaced them.

Removing the single quotes surrounding this.href
made it link more smoothly.
