Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS

Question

I am trying to make this captcha jquery plugin to work. The a certain line of code is executed, the error pops up.

This is the line of code that causes the error :

$(".ajax-fc-" + rand).draggable({ containment: '#ajax-fc-content' });

What I am assuming is that there is some kind of conflict with the javascript reference, but can't determain what.

These are the referenes that I am using

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/ui.core.js"></script>
<script src="js/ui.draggable.js"></script>
<script src="js/ui.droppable.js"></script>
<script src="js/effects.core.js"></script>
<script src="js/effects.slide.js"></script>

As per RaYell's indirect suggestion the problem was i was returning the wrong value in the ajax response.

Ran into the same problem and it was driving me nuts. Make sure you are passing in the correct objects types to their functions. I accidentally passed in an structure when it was expecting a string.

This would error:

var COUNTRY_CODE = $(aform.COUNTRY_CODE);
$.post("/cfcs/reports/reports.cfc?method=getRegions",
            {COUNTRY_CODE:COUNTRY_CODE}, function(resp) { ...

The solution is to add .val(), as shown below:

var COUNTRY_CODE = $(aform.COUNTRY_CODE);
$.post("/cfcs/reports/reports.cfc?method=getRegions",
           {COUNTRY_CODE:COUNTRY_CODE.val()}, function(resp) { ...
                                     ^^^^^^

This seems to work: "jQuery Firefox error: Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIDOMViewCSS.getComputedStyle]"

Add Dojo to the list. I'm Having the same problem with the Dojo Toolkit framework. (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100915 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.6.10 GTB7.1)

Chrome and Opera work with my code just fine, yet my new update to Linux FireFox gave the same error --> nsresult: ”0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS). I to am doing some positioning of hidden elements as one of the links above describes.

Ooops. My bad. I found the problem. Apparently my new install of FF was picker about a mis-assigned object function. Chrome, Opera and previous FF had no problem with the the essentially "null" function, while the new version did. They just ignored it, so I never knew is wasn't right in the first place.
