Hi! I have the following code:
var LightIt = { timeout : null, highLight : function(elementId){ clearTimeout(this.timeout); var allpics = 50; for (var i=0; i < allpics; i++) { var currentElement = 'pic' + i; var dummyElement = 'dummy' + i; if($(elementId).style.opacity == 1){ if(document.getElementById(currentElement) != null) { if(currentElement != elementId) { this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity (currentElement, {duration:0.2, from:1, to:0.2} )},400); } } if(document.getElementById(dummyElement) != null) { this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity (dummyElement, {duration:0.2, from:1, to:0.2})},400); } } } }, unhighLight : function(elementId){ if($(elementId).style.opacity == 1){ clearTimeout(this.timeout); }else{ var allpics = 50; for (var i=0; i < allpics; i++) { var currentElement = 'pic' + i; var dummyElement = 'dummy' + i; if(document.getElementById(currentElement) != null) { if(currentElement != elementId) { this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity ( currentElement, {duration:0.2, from:0.2, to:1} )},400); } } if(document.getElementById(dummyElement) != null) { this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity( dummyElement, {duration:0.2, from:0.2, to:1} )},400); } } } } } That code is called by onmouseover="LightIt.highLight('pic1');" and onmouseout="LightIt.unhighLight('pic1');". However my Firebug console displays the following error: "uncaught exception: [object Object]" I have have figured out that the problem is this part: this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity (currentElement, {duration:0.2, from:1, to:0.2} )},400); The "currentElement" in there seems to be empty, because the value is not passed to the pseudo function. To see if the script work I did this: this.timeout = setTimeout(function(){new Effect.Opacity('pic1', {duration:0.2, from:1, to:0.2} )},400); When I directly write the element name into the script it works perfectly. The question is, how can I pass the currentElement value to that pseudo function?
