Re: [IUG] having problems with mainmenu (JavaScript error)

[jowilcox at vt dot edu]

Your error seems bigger than javascript. For some reason your document 
is not  loading completely. It is evident even when javascript is turned off

Background:
The object "document.search" is the content after the (?) question mark 
in server side document queries. For example take this url from google:
http://www.google.com/search?hs=E02&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=typo&btnG=Search

this is your document.search object
hs=E02&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=typo&btnG=Search

Your ( or millennium's) javascript is only used on advanced search. It 
is looking for document.search.seachtext1 but since your document is not 
completely loaded it does not exist.

Solution
In order to resolve your issue we have figure out what may be causing 
the millennium server to not output anymore code. There are 
inconsistencies between the screen directory and the root domain but I 
believe it can be fixed on your end. I would begin by commenting out 
html source code until you can pinpoint the issue.

I hope this helps.
