Hi
Please give me a solution for this ,

Iam using a function for loading indicator.Actualy that function is to be given in "onLoad" function,but i need to use that function
in onClick event of Button.

Function used :

<script language="javascript">

var w3c=(document.getElementById)?true:false;
var ie=(document.all)?true:false;
var N=-1;
var bars=new Array();
var int;

function statusbar(){
createBar(320,15,'white',1,'black','darkblue',85,7,5);
}

function createBar(w,h,bgc,brdW,brdC,blkC,speed,blocks){
if(ie||w3c){
var t='<div style="position:relative; overflow:hidden; width:'+w+'px; height:'+h+'px; background-color:'+bgc+'; border-color:'+brdC+'; border-width:'+brdW+'px; border-style:solid; font-size:1px;">';
t+='<span id="blocks'+(++N)+'" style="left:-'+(h*2+1)+'px; position:absolute; font-size:1px">';
for(i=0;i<blocks;i++){
t+='<span style="background-color:'+blkC+'; left:-'+((h*i)+i)+'px; font-size:1px; position:absolute; width:'+h+'px; height:'+h+'px; '
t+=(ie)?'filter:alpha(opacity='+(100-i*(100/blocks))+')':'-Moz-opacity:'+((100-i*(100/blocks))/100);
t+='"></span>';
}
t+='</span></div>';
document.write("Plese Wait"+t);
var bA=(ie)?document.all['blocks'+N] ocument.getElementById('blocks'+N);
alert(bA.blocks=blocks);
bA.blocks=blocks;
bA.w=w;
bA.h=h;
bars[bars.length]=bA;
int=setInterval('startBar('+N+')',speed);

}

}

function startBar(bn){

var t=bars[bn];

t.style.left=((parseInt(t.style.left)+t.h+1-(t.blocks*t.h+t.blocks)>t.w)? -(t.h*2+1) : parseInt(t.style.left)+t.h+1)+'px';
}

function stop(){
window.clearInterval(int);
}
document.onstop=stop;

</script>

Problem:
Iam facing "object expected problem" when iam using the statusBar() function in onClick event of Button.

You can not use document.write after the page load.

You either need to figure out how ti use innerHTML or appendChild() to get the elment on the page. OR you have the progress bar built on page load, you just hide it from view until you need it.

I do not see anywhere where you have an element surrounding the loading bar with the display set to none. Than you should have a show function that sets the element to block.

If you are getting an object expected, that probably means you are not referencing the element's id correctly.

As I said before you can not use document.write("Plese Wait"+t); after the page load. Are you calling the status method on the click evernt?
