'Object Expected' Javascript error in IE8 when using prototype.js

rated 0 times [ 46] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 43730 / 15 Years ago, thu, june 4, 2009, 12:00:00

function icPageInit()

{

    $(icImgDiv + icAlternate()).setOpacity(0);

    return true;

}

window.onload = icPageInit;

This piece of Javascript code works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but fails with the error 'Object Expected' in Internet Explorer 8. IE8 says the error occurs on line 3 of the above code.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and/or how to get it working?

Figured it out.

Turns out Internet Explorer chokes if you use anything other than javascript in the language attribute of the script tag.

I was using version numbers appended onto javascript in the language attribute, which was causing IE not to load prototype.js.
