SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, you may receive an error message when you view a Web page that contains a Tabular Data Control (TDC). For example, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Error:  is null or not an object

Note In this error message,  is the name of a variable in the JavaScript code.

Note The Web page may work as expected in the Local Machine Zone (LMZ).



CAUSE
This issue may occur if the data binding for the DataURL property of the TDC is not correct. For example, you may experience this issue if the following conditions are true:
 * The data file is a text file.
 * The DataURL property contains a file name.
 * The file name in the DataURL property has a file name extension that is not a file name extension for a text file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, modify the DataURL property to use the correct file name extension for the file type.
