javascript errors

When posting a message, I get javascript errors. Multiple computers, multiple browsers...

Error: formRef.subbtn is undefined

formRef.subbtn.disabled = true;
formRef.subbtn.style.background = '#BBBBBB';
formRef.subbtn.style.color = '#EEEEEE';

So is this being worked on? Whats going on?

looking at the code...

The reply button has the attributes:
name="reply" id="subbtn"

You can't use:
formRef.subbtn.disabled = true;

it should be either:

formRef.reply.disabled= true;
or
document.getElementById('subbtn').disabled=true;

you can use the bolded code to fix the javascript so that we dont get javascript errors every time we try to post a message.

Thanks.
Happens to everyone in modern. Just enable bug alerts.

I make sure that all my staff test the sites they develop in IE with debugging turned on. Also, I have them turn on the firefox error console and test the sites out in firefox.

When javascript breaks, usually all script following also breaks. While it might not seem like a big issue, the simple disable button form might disable other scripts that you intend to run.
