Hello,

I have a page. Page has RadGrid , few comboboxes and toolbar.

I have this error:

Message: Unexpected call to method or property access.
Line: 14547
Char: 25
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost:3312/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd?_TSM_HiddenField_=ctl00_scriptManager_HiddenField&compress=1&_TSM_CombinedScripts_=%3b%3bSystem.Web.Extensions%2c+Version%3d3.5.0.0%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d31bf3856ad364e35%3aen-US%3a0d787d5c-3903-4814-ad72-296cea810318%3aea597d4b%3ab25378d2%3bTelerik.Web.UI%2c+Version%3d2009.2.701.35%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d121fae78165ba3d4%3aen-US%3a7e598a31-3beb-49a1-914c-5f530240f0ea%3a16e4e7cd%3aed16cbdc%3a86526ba7%3a874f8ea2%3af7645509%3a24ee1bba%3a19620875%3a33108d14%3abd8f85e4%3a1e771326%3aaa288e2d%3ab7778d6c%3aa7e79140%3a58366029%3ae330518b%3ac8618e41%3ae4f8f289

I also have the output of that script (1MB, cant attach here)

Fragment:

    
            var c=this.get_parent(); 
        
            var f=c.get_openedItem(); 
        
            if(f&&f!=this){f._close(g) 
        
            }if(c._state!=Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuItemState.Open&&c.open){c._open(g) 
        
            }c._focusedItem=this; 
        
            var d=this.get_menu(); 
        
            d._focusedItem=this; 
        
            var b=this.get_linkElement(); 
        
            if(!this.get_focused()&&b){b.focus() 
        
            }this.get_menu()._raiseEvent("itemFocus",new Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuItemFocusEventArgs(this,g)) 
        
            },_doBlur:function(d){if(this.get_isSeparator()){return 
        
            }if(this.get_focused()){this.get_linkElement().blur()  //error in this line 
        
            }this.get_parent()._focusedItem=null; 
        
            var b=this.get_menu();

What can be the reason of this error ?

I am using version 2009.3.1103.35 of the Rad Controls in a Sitefinity website and getting this error as well in IE8 (in standard or compatibility mode). Here is a bit of the problematic code:

    
            },wrapInner:function(a){return this.each(function(){V(this).contents().wrapAll(a); 
        
            }); 
        
            },wrap:function(a){return this.each(function(){V(this).wrapAll(a); 
        
            }); 
        
            },append:function(){return this.domManip(arguments,true,function(a){if(this.nodeType==1){this.appendChild(a); 
        
            }}); 
        
            },prepend:function(){return this.domManip(arguments,true,function(a){if(this.nodeType==1){this.insertBefore(a,this.firstChild); 
        
            }}); 
        
            },before:function(){return this.domManip(arguments,false,function(a){this.parentNode.insertBefore(a,this); 
        
            }); 
        
            },after:function(){return this.domManip(arguments,false,function(a){this.parentNode.insertBefore(a,this.nextSibling); 
        
            }); 
        
            },end:function(){return this.prevObject||V([]); 
        
            },push:[].push,sort:[].sort,splice:[].splice,find:function(a){if(this.length===1){var b=this.pushStack([],"find",a); 
        
            b.length=0; 
        
            V.find(a,this[0],b); 
        
            return b; 
        
            }else{return this.pushStack(V.unique(V.map(this,function(c){return V.find(a,c);

It is complaining at the "this.appendChild(a)." It's really causing some difficulty in my page so any hint on how to fix it would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Allen,

Indeed the error is occurring in the clueTip code itself. The error itself seems to be caused by an attempt to append a child element to an img element. Exactly how we got there is unclear.

Our suggestion is to start with a minimal page that contains only the image map and clueTip and add the rest of the content incrementally. This should make the problem more obvious.

I hope this helps.

Hi Allen,

I've tried the code from your page with a simple image map and it doesn't work. The problem seems to be that you're a initializing the plug-in with the following parameter:

$.cluetip.setup({ insertionElement: '#usaClickable' });

Where usaClickable is an image. The plug-in attempts to add a child node to the image element and throws the error you see in IE (and fails silently in Firefox). Calling setup without this parameter solves the problem.
