Hey all,
I get the error message mentioned in the title in this script:

By the way, there is another problem I’m having some difficulty figuring out. Notice when the calculate() method is called, it bypasses the calling of the attach() method, which checks what kind of event is being triggered by the form fields. Any suggestions so that depending on whether it’s change event or keyup, I can call obj.calculate() as soon as event happens? Thanks for response.
