Can anyone help with the error shown below? - I have looked at the code of the script and realise that it is being generated by there being no valid id.
So... I changed the details to provide a valid id (did not work), then matched all the details up to a new id (did not work), then copied several classes with the same name and created id values for them (did not work).
Am I missing something here, or is this just another of those darn stupid issues that only affects IE browsers (Firefox does not generate the error) and which can (usually) just be ignored?
