I have the following method in a js file in ASP.Net web project. This method is giving the error Cannot call method 'split' of null

 function loadUser_InfoCallBack(res)
    {
    var ret=res.value;
    var senderGUID = ret.split(';')[0];
    var senderText = ret.split(';')[1];

    if(senderGUID.Length>0)
    {
    $('hiddenSender.value')=senderGUID;
    $('hiddenText.value')=senderText;
    }

}

Can anybody suggest the reasons for this error..

where the code for the getOwnerInfo method is below

            }//end if statement


            return strReturn;

        }

And this method is in the code behind page of frmHome.aspx page. And I get the error when i try to open the page frmHome.aspx

• How do you call this function?, the argument res is not being passed correctly (or doesn't contains a value property), also, you will get an invalid left-hand side in assignment error on the two assignments you have inside the if... – Christian C. Salvadó Commented Apr 26, 2010 at 7:27
• The call to the method is made like this... NewProject.Home.frmHome.getOwnerInfo(loadUser_InfoCallBack) – Mohammad Nadeem Commented Apr 26, 2010 at 7:29
• This call is made in the same js file – Mohammad Nadeem Commented Apr 26, 2010 at 7:37

1 Answer 1

The most probable reason will be that there won't be any element res. So taking res.value will return null, and split is expecting a string.
