Microsoft JScript runtime error: Member not found

Question

i am using asp.net mvc3 and jquery dialogue to open partial view in main view

here is my structure..

partialview 1

<input type="button" onclick="function1();">

partial view 2

<form method="post"> 
    //some elements

    @Html.RenderPartial("partialview1");
</form>

<script src="myscript.js" />
<script src="jquery.js"/> 
//some element

<div>
    load partialview 2 as jquery dialogue 
</div>

myscript.js

  function function1()
  {
     //some code
  }

this is just only overview of my application

now in above structure if i click on button in the partialview1 i am getting this error : Microsoft JScript runtime error: Member not found.

Solution 1

I found the solution in my case.

<input id="function1" type="button" onclick="function1();">

I have used id of the input type button (ie: function1) as the same name of function (ie: function1).

As I don't know much about it. But by changing id of the button or function name solves my problem.

Solution 2

Actually, 'Member Not Found' occurs on all browsers and other non-browser programs. In browsers, placing a button or radial with the same name as the function it calls within a form induces this error. Either rename the button or move it outside of the form.

That makes sense. Internet Explorer has the bad habit of creating global variables for elements' IDs, overwriting existing variables and functions.

Thanks.. I was clueless!

I had a javascript function with the same name as a hidden field. Changing that stopped this error.
