jQuery "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected"
- by Oskar Kjellin
I have the below code that does not seem to work at all :( I keep getting:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected
The error seems to occur when the timeout is done. So if I raise the timeout with 10 seconds the error holds for another 10 seconds.
I want to be able to update the number of friends online async. The number is shown with the following html:
<a href="" id="showChat" >Friends online <strong id="friendsOnline">(?)</strong></a>
The friends part is set at the first run, but when the timeout calls back it does not fire again. Also, I cannot see on which line the error occurs because if I want to break on the error it just shows "no source code" etc.
The code below is the code I'm using. Thanks!

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
UpdateFriendsOnline();
function UpdateFriendsOnline() {
window.setTimeout("UpdateFriendsOnline()", 1000);
$.get("/Account/GetFriendsOnline", function(data) {
$("#friendsOnline").html("(" + data + ")");
});
}
});
</script>
