Error message when loading all pages

[Kaycee123]

I have been getting this error message every time a page loads on our site for the past few weeks.

Line: 160
Char: 2
Error: 'this.controlobj' is null or not an object
Code: 0

This happens on every single page when it is being loaded. Everything still seems to be working fine. I have disabled all plugins and it still does the same thing.

Any suggestions???

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.

I HAVE disabled all plugins - it still does the same thing. Exact same error message

Did you add this piece of code to you config.php?
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Also what kind of error is it? It doesn't look like PHP or MySQL, possibly Javascript or ASP?

I think it might be Javascript, so check your /clientscript/ directory for non-standard vB files and remove them temporarily.

Only disabling plugins will most likely not fix this error, please follow the rest of the instructions.

FYI:

I had this error as well a while back. If I remember correctly it was a problem with a vB dropdown menu. Have you added any custom dropdown menus? I think I had some code in a template conditional that shouldn't have been. Could be way off but it may be something to look at.

Update - this appears to be a problem with Internet Explorer - all the pages work fine now with Mozilla Firefox!!!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions - they were appreciated!

Ill take a bet this a is a custom template error.

[Kaycee123]

It probably is, but I have been unable to find it!! It works perfectly with Mozilla now though. We changed from a Windows server to a Linux one about the time this started - I don't know if that made any difference or not??

That's great that it's working on firefox, but if you look at stats, there are still a lot of people using IE, so what about them?

[Kaycee123]

That's true - I've put up a message telling people to try Firefox if they're having problems. All the pages work okay with IE, its just the message is annoying.

If you have any suggestions of how to fix this so IE works too, I'd be happy to hear them!!!! I did try removing the extra javascript files, it didn't make any difference. And I don't have any customized drop down navbars either.
