IE8 object expected error

[cjgtek]

I'm trying to write a script that will allow users to change background & text colors for their user profiles. The script works fine in FF and Chrome but generates a Object Expected error in IE8. I've checked everything I can but I don't see a problem.

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript" type="application/javascript">
   function chgBackground(a,b) {
      document.getElementById('adContent').style.backgroundColor = a;
      document.getElementById('adContent').style.color= b;
      }
</script>


here's one of the onClick events. I've tried with and without the 'javascript:' part.

Code: Select all

<td><img src="images/color_1.jpg" alt="" width="17" height="17" onClick="javascript:chgBackground('#4f4f4f','#ffffff');" /></td>


any help is appreciated.

unbelievable. it was the type="application/javascript" in the script tag that was causing the problem!

never mind. crisis averted.
