Question

I have the following JS, when it runs in IE8, I get the error: ILL.TEST is null or not an object, it works on other browsers through. any idea why this is happening? thanks for help in advance.

 //global name space
 var ILL={};

 ILL.TEST=(function(){
     function init(){
      }
     return { 
        init:init 
     };
 })();

 (function(){
      //error ILL.TEST is null or not an object
      ILL.TEST.init();
 })()

The problem was that I define the ILL.TEST after it is called. so this will be a problem:

 //global name space
 var ILL={};

 (function(){
    //error ILL.TEST is null or not an object
     ILL.TEST.init();
 })()

 //defining after this fn is called will result in null or not an object in IE8
 ILL.TEST=(function(){
     function init(){
      }
     return { 
       init:init 
     };
 })();
