Moving HTML (asp) 2.4 from 1.7

[rmorton27]

I have a couple of asp pages that I am moveing from 1.7 to 2.4 when I try to load them in 2.4 I am given ths error: "Script error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A01A8 text6=hs.DeviceString("s26")". The asp code seems pretty simple: text6=hs.DeviceString("s26")

The device exsits and t runs fine on 1.7.

Any clues?

Is s26 something other than a string?

Its a homeseer devce - configured as status only device. I store user set values from the page in quesiton in them.

Is any hs. command working? I'd first suspect that you are not getting a good reference to the hs object.

They all work fine in 1.7 - I can set values and retrive them in 1.7. Same code in 2.4 errors. I suspect that my code is buggy but some how worked in 1.7 and the parsing engine was more rigerous in 2.4. The doc example in 2.4 for devicestring seems to be just as my code but I am likley missing something obvious.

can you post more of your code? How do you define as set the value of hs

I had commented out the offending lines while testing they are uncommented in the attached example.

I haven't done any coding under 1.7, and my web pages are all aspx. My guess is that you are not getting your reference to hs object properly.

In looking at rover.asp, which I just tried and it runs fine for me under HomeSeer 2.0, it looks like the reference to hs is globally defined and you do not have to define nor create it.

Try removing your createobject code for hs, and remove the: Dim hs code as well. Assume that there already is a global variable 'hs' defined and just use it.

Again, I'm largely guessing by reading the rover.asp code.

Hope this helps,

Removing the "dim hs" did the trick. Now all I need to do is learn how to write asp instead of just taking a whack here and there.

Thanks for thee help
