Hi

I posted a solution for this problem which you might be interested in.

I get a little different error message when trying edit/close/delete a webpart, and using Neil's script did not resolve the issue. Below is the error:

Line: 2135

Char: 4

Error: 'style.display' is null or not an object

Code: 0

URL:

Do you have any trick to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Tuan

Would love to solve Tuan's issue but he would need to debug it and let me know where the code was failing.  As for where to place the code, I think as long as you place it AFTER the SPWebPartManager (which I did say in my post) then you should be alright.

Hello All,

I think I know what is Twan´s problem.

I had this problem and I think the problem was I didnt had ensurechildcontrols() or base.CreateChildControls(); or something like that and he didnt created unique id like for example MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ5.

Now I have the same problem of this page and I want  to see Neil Mosafi solution but some sites are bloqued at my work.... only can only see later at home.

Hello Again,

I managed to see Neil Mosafi solution, thank you!!!  it solved my problem!!! Moss never stops suprising me...

About tuan´s problem I tried to reproduce the problem and I couldn´t... but somethings may be the cause of the problem:

- Not having this.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;

- not having Guid, maybe...

- Overriding childcontrols and not puting base.childcontrols

- not having ensurechildcontrols, maybe?

Best Regards,

Rui Alves

I am exactly facing the same issues a what tuan´s facing. I am getting this error when I am CEWP

Kindly help me to resolve the issue

I cant remember the cause but I know why it was giving this error in my case:

- I was adding a particular webpart that was ruining it all.

- The reason I dont remember but I saw view source of page and the webpart ID had only "webpart" written in it, and not "MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ#" like the other sharepoint webparts.

- So the reason is that the control is not being created correctly...something to do with render or base.createchildcontrols I believe...

#: number

Thank you SO much. I had the exact same problem and this saved me a lot of time=)

Hi,

I have a silly problem, I can't move webparts in different webpart zones, it just selects the content.

I'm i missing some property or?

My webparts are user controls.

Regards,

Darko

P.S. I don't have position property, and I don't get javascript error

Well, I tried  with the built in webparts from SharePoint, but the same i s happening.

I don't understand. You can use User Controls as Web Parts

I cant drag and drop Web parts like i did in Visual Studio 2005, currently im using Visual Studio 2008

Hi,

I am facing a similar kind of problem. One of my web part is not functioning properly. First, I thought it might be web part problem but when I used the same web part in my another SharePoint Site in another server(which is kind of replica of the main sharepoint srever), it worked fine.

Then, I saw that the web part is actually accessing another web part on the page. This wab part is showing Java Script error ( style.display problem) when I am trying to click on the down arrow given on the web part.

I am a bit confused, if this could be the problem as my web part might not be able to access this web part with the java script problem. Could you please guide me with this.

Another part is that since this Sharepoint server is a live server, would it be safe to use the Javascript function as given by Mr.Neil Mosafi .It would be great if you could guide me with this.

Thanks in anticipation.

Waldek, there are no Javascript error along the way.

Moreover, and much more important thing is that the SharePoint site is distributed in 3 Servers for load balancing and SharePoint Designer is installed in a development Server. Now, if I use the SharePoint designer to open the site from the developmeent Server and place the Java script, would it be replicated to all the servers (the 3 servers wher the Sharepoint is distributed)

I have placed the script in the master page below the SPWebPartManager as shown below:

<form runat="server" onsubmit="return _spFormOnSubmitWrapper();">

<WebPartPages:SPWebPartManager id="m" runat="Server"/>

<aspajax:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="ScriptManager1" EnablePartialRendering="true"></aspajax:ScriptManager>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

           function MSOLayout_GetRealOffset(StartingObject, OffsetType, EndParent)

           {

               var realValue=0;

               if (!EndParent) EndParent=document.body;

               for (var currentObject=StartingObject; currentObject && currentObject !=EndParent && currentObject != document.body; currentObject=currentObject.offsetParent)

               {

                   var offset = eval('currentObject.offset'+OffsetType);

                   if (offset) realValue+=offset;

               }

               return realValue;

           }

</script>

I then saved it however, still the page is showing the same Java script error. Could you guide with an alternate solution for it?

The best way to resolve this issue is to specify a

.body

{

position:relative;

}

tag for body element. That will resolve the issue of finding the parent of any other boxes under the body element.
