Topic awaiting preservation: Unknown Error... (Page 1 of 1)

I've got a DIV in the body, into which a lot of code is written: (the div is called menuobjs)

menuobjs.innerHTML += "<table id=\"sub\" bgcolor=\"black\" width=\"330\" height=\"200\" cellspacing=\"0\"
cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 140px; top: 35px; visibility: hidden;\"><tr><td height=\"3
\"><table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><tr><td><img src=\"images/topl.gif\"></td><td
background=\"images/top.gif\" width=\"100%\"></td><td><img
src=\"images/topr.gif\"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\"><table width=\"100%\"
height=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><tr><td background=\"images/left.gif\" width=\"3\"
height=\"100%\"></td><td id=\"subc\"></td><td background=\"images/right.gif\" width=\"3\" height=\"100%
\"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td height=\"3\"><table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0
\"><tr><td><img src=\"images/bottoml.gif\"></td><td background=\"images/bottom.gif\" width=\"100%
\"></td><td><img src=\"images/bottomr.gif\"></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>";


then I do these lines:
var temp = parseInt(csubitem/2); // an integer
var who = characters[temp]; // a string
var mitems = eval(who+'.NOM'); // an integer
var part = ""; for (var i=0; i<mitems; i++) {if (i<15) { part += "<tr></tr>"; } else { break; } }

(where the subc is the ID of a <TD> in the sub table written to 'menuobjs')
subc.innerHTML = "<table width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><tr><td valign=\"top\"><table id=\"chars\" class=\"menu\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"padding-top: 10px;\"><tr><td style=\"color: gold; padding-left: 20px;\">Magic</td><td style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">»</td><td style=\"padding-left: 3px;\">Ethior</td><td style=\"padding-left: 15px; color: black;\">»</td><td style=\"padding-left: 3px;\">Brax</td><td style=\"padding-left: 15px; color: black;\">»</td><td style=\"padding-left: 3px;\">Crystal</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top: 15px;\"><table id=\"mc\" class=\"g\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 4px;\">"+part+"</table></td></tr></table>";

(where the 'mc' is a table ID in 'subc')
---this is the loop---
var n=0; while (n < mitems) { if (n > 14) { n = 0; } document.getElementById("mc").getElementsByTagName("TR")[n].innerHTML += "<td style=\"color: black;\">»</td><td style=\"padding-left: 3px;\">"+magic[temp][n]+"</td>"; n++; }
----------------------

This last piece of code, the loop, is what I think causes the problem.
But I dunno...

It says it's an Unknown Error. I can't get the line number since my error-reporting tool creates another nice little window on top of the very window where I can press a little button called Show Information. When the nice little window's only 'OK' button is clicked the other window disappears as well, but I did locate the error using several alert boxes after each line. And the error didn't show until the last loop was launched.

Assuming you're using IE for this, try it in Mozilla. It might give more detailed error info, and may not even give an error at all (there may be something weird with the loop causing the error under IE).
