Description

The XML validation throws Javascript error in Internet Explorer for css_xhtml theme. Even in the examples provided by apache, the error occurs.

The error is - "An exception occurred: Error. Error message: Invalid argument. "

I tried out to figured out the cause and found out the following

Part of generated Javascript code for my module is

field = form.elements['district.name'];
var error = "Enter only alphabets for district";
if (continueValidation && field.value != null && !field.value.match("^[a-zA-Z ]*$")) {
addError(field, error);
errors = true;
}

tried to mock up by putting the same code in a function and calling it in onclick event

the method "addError()" throws the exception and the reason is "field" variable.

if field is changed to field[0] , it is working fine in my mock up code.

The validation works fine in firefox, safari and chrome
