Well, I'm a step closer to finding out what's going on. Part of the error message refers to a line number/variable name in this script:

http://jquery.com/src/latest/ajax-event-fx-jquery-latest/

Line 741 in function fixEvent() tries to set a variable like this:

event.preventDefault = fixEvent.preventDefault;

Perhaps the error message "Cannot set property 'preventDefault' of null" means that the "event" variable is null? Why would this be the case?

One of our web developers has made some changes to our web application, which includes moving some Javascript into separate files. For some reason this has caused my Canoo tests to fail with an error message I have never seen before. I do not know what the error message means, or how to diagnose the problem further. The error from the log below reads:

"ScriptException: enclosed exception was "TypeError: Cannot set property "preventDefault" of null to "org.mozilla.javascript.InterpretedFunction@278e83" (http://localhost:8080/cks/scripts/jquery.js#741)".

I have seen a fair number of script exception problems on this mailing list, but I've never had a problem with them before. Any help would be appreciated.
