IE throws JavaScript Error The value of the property googleMapsQuery is null or undefined not a Function object works in other browsers

Question

I m having a real problem with JavaScript scope in IE 9   This is inside the body of my document  yes  I realize script should go in the head for proper HTML  but I ve never had it break a script before   The script is in the body because I don t want to mess with a shared header page for a script that is only relevant for this page    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function googleMapsQuery accountNum           function code is here  omitted for brevity     lt  script gt    This is inside a td block inside a tr block inside a tbody block inside a table block inside a form block inside the body    lt button id  google-422111  onclick  googleMapsQuery 422111   type  button  gt Google This  lt  button gt    I even moved the script block above the form just in case the order of the script function declaration was relevant  it s not    The script works flawlessly in FireFox and Chrome  but in IE 9  with or without compatibility view on   I get this error      SCRIPT5007  The value of the property  googleMapsQuery  is null or undefined  not a Function object   I studied JavaScript scope  and I cannot figure out any reason why IE thinks that  googleMapsQuery  is a property  and why it is undefined  It s a function  and I defined it

I was having a similar issue with a property being null or undefined.

This ended up being that IE's document mode was being defaulted to IE7 Standards. This was due to the compatibility mode being automatically set to be used for all intranet sites (Tools > Compatibility View Setting > Display Intranet Sites in Compatibility View).

I found the answer  and in spite of what I reported  it was NOT browser specific   The bug was in my function code  and would have occurred in any browser   It boils down to this   I had two lines in my code that were FireFox FireBug specific   They used console log   In IE  they threw an error  so I commented them out  or so I thought    I did a crappy job commenting them out  and broke the bracketing in my function   Original Code  with console log in it    if  sxti length  lt   50  console log  sxti     sxti   if  sxph length  lt   50  console log  sxph     sxph     Broken Code  misplaced brackets inside comments    if  sxti length  lt   50      console log  sxti     sxti     if  sxph length  lt   50      console log  sxph     sxph       Fixed Code  fixed brackets outside comments    if  sxti length  lt   50       console log  sxti     sxti   if  sxph length  lt   50       console log  sxph     sxph     So  it was my own sloppy coding   The function really wasn t defined  because a syntax error kept it from being closed   Oh well  live and learn

In my particular case  I had a similar error on a legacy website used in my organization  To solve the issue  I had to list the website a a  quot Trusted site quot   To do so   Click the Tools button  and then Internet options  Go on the Security tab  Click on Trusted sites and then on the sites button  Enter the url of the website and click on Add   I m leaving this here in the remote case it will help someone

Have you tried adding the semicolon to onclick  googleMapsQuery 422111      I don t have enough of your code to test if the missing semicolon would cause the error  but ie is more picky about syntax

So I had a similar situation with the same error  I forgot I changed the compatibility mode on my dev machine and I had a console log command in my javascript as well  I changed compatibility mode back in IE  and removed the console log command  No more issue
