I get Error ‘Object Expected’ on line 1, char 1 (where-ever this is) on my script here in IE7. It works fine in Firefox, and the error console prints nothing.

I tried multiple ways to call my function but none works:

<a href='javascript:doit()'>Turingmaschine starten</a> <a href='#' onclick='doit()'>Turingmaschine starten</a>

What could be the problem?

<script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript'>  var state; var index; var program; var data;  const S=0; const X=1; const S2=2; const X2=3; const M=4; const E='SE';  function doit() {     state=document.getElementById('stat').value;     program = document.getElementById('prog').value.split('\n');     index = document.getElementById('dat').value.indexOf('Z')>>1;     data = document.getElementById('dat').value.replace(/Z,/, '').split(',');      for (var i = 0; i<program.length; i++)     {         program[i]=program[i].split(',');     }      while(state!=E)     {         var i;         for (i = 0; i<program.length; i++)         {             if (program[i][S]==state && program[i][X]==data[index])             {                 state = program[i][S2];                 data[index] = program[i][X2]                 index+= parseInt(program[i][M]);                  data.splice(index,0,'Z');                  if (data[data.length-1]!='*')                 {                     data.push('*');                 }                 if (data[0]!='*')                 {                     data.unshift('*');                     index++;                 }                 document.getElementById('out').value+=state+': '+data+'\r\n';                  data.splice(index,1);                  break;             }         }          if (i==program.length)             break;     }      document.getElementById('out').value+='Done.\r\n'; }  </script>
