[Plugin: JS Banner Rotate] script error

  • I’m using IE 9 and seeing a script error that appears to be related to this plugin. The error is:

    SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property ‘getElementsByTagName’: object is null or undefined
    jsbrotate.js?ver=1.3, line 4 character 2

    and it points to this line:

    var allBanners = document.getElementById(“jsBanners”).getElementsByTagName(“span”);

    Strangely, the error does not occur on the page WITH the rotate banner, but only on other pages on the site.

    You can see it occur here, for example:

    I have version 1.3.3 of the plugin installed. Love the plugin btw, I only noticed this because I was trying to track down something else.

    I’m calling the plugin with php on the home page, if that matters.

    This is expected, and a known issue that will be fixed in an upcoming version. IE in particular complains when you try to run getElementById() and the element you’re trying to select don’t exist. Other browsers just return either null or undefined and let you go on your merry way.

    This error won’t actually affect the performance of your site but will display an error message at the bottom of the page for users who have debugging turned on.

    It will also be fixed in the next version.
