[SOLVED] this function has error on some servers???

[Looktrne]

this function works fine on one of my sites but won't work on a customers server

 

function emoticon(text)
{
if (document.post.message.createTextRange && document.post.message.caretPos)
{
	var caretPos = document.post.message.caretPos;
	caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == " " ? text + " " : text;
	document.post.message.focus();
}
else
{
	document.post.message.value  += text;
	document.post.message.focus();
}
}

 

is there any settings server side that might prevent this from working?

 

it enters a emoticon into a text field box...

 

here is how it is called

 

<script language="JavaScript" src="js/common.js"></script>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  	<td class="headline" colspan="3">Send Message</td>

Considering that Javascript is executed by the browser not the server, you can rule that idea out of the question.

 

You might want to describe what the problem is.

[Looktrne]

when I use this function on my site it works

 

I click on a smiley face and it plants the text "   " into the text area of the message

 

when I click on the smiley face on my customers site with the same code. it does nothing nothing is put into the text box.

 

I also get an error object expected in internet explorer
