The joys of JavaScript error messages
Today I meant to type
someObject.somePropertysomeObject..somePropertyFirefox kicked back the amazingly helpful
XML descendants internal method called on incompatible ObjectThen I flipped back to my editor which thankfully still had the cursor next to the extra period. A simple backspace and I was moving again...

Great tip. Saved me loads of time I'm sure!
Thanks a zillion. Indeed Firebug did all the work for me.
One more thanks for pin-pointing the error!
However, a cautionary note if you encounter a double-period in your code; it may not simply be a extra period, it could be a missing element in the object definition. For example, "this..id" may really have been "this.wibble.id". So it might not just be a case of removing one of the periods.
I know, I was that marine...
