Embedded Javascript in Master Page or Pages That Use Master Page throw "Object Expected Error"
- by Philter
I'm semi-new to writing ASP.Net applications using master pages and I've run into an issue I've spent some time on but can't seem to solve.
My situation is that I have a master page with a structure that looks like this:
<head runat="server">
<title>Test Site</title>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Default.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/Default.js" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"/>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphHead" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="divHeader">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphPageTitle" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
<div id="divMainContent">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphMainContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
I then have a page that uses this master page that contains the following:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="cphHead" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >
function test() {
alert("Hello World");
}
</script>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="cphMainContent" runat="server">
<fieldset>
<img alt="Select As Of Date" src="Images/Calendar.png" id="aAsOfDate" class="clickable" runat="server" onclick="test();" />
<asp:Button runat="server" CssClass="buttonStyle" ID="btnSubmit" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Clicked"/>
</fieldset>
</asp:Content>
When I run this page and click on the image I get an "Object Expected" error.
However, if I place the test function into my Default.js external file it will function perfectly.
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Any ideas?
