After an earlier question relating to this error.
Error: unable to get value of the property ‘split’: object is null or undefined
An answer was offered to add the following code:
/* Cross-Browser Split 1.0.1
(c) Steven Levithan <stevenlevithan.com>; MIT License
An ECMA-compliant, uniform cross-browser split method */
var cbSplit;
// avoid running twice, which would break `cbSplit._nativeSplit`'s reference to the native `split`
if (!cbSplit) {
cbSplit = function (str, separator, limit) {
// if `separator` is not a regex, use the native `split`
if (Object.prototype.toString.call(separator) !== "[object RegExp]") {
return cbSplit._nativeSplit.call(str, separator, limit);
}
var output = [],
lastLastIndex = 0,
flags = (separator.ignoreCase ? "i" : "") +
(separator.multiline ? "m" : "") +
(separator.sticky ? "y" : ""),
separator = RegExp(separator.source, flags + "g"), // make `global` and avoid `lastIndex` issues by working with a copy
separator2, match, lastIndex, lastLength;
str = str + ""; // type conversion
if (!cbSplit._compliantExecNpcg) {
separator2 = RegExp("^" + separator.source + "$(?!\\s)", flags); // doesn't need /g or /y, but they don't hurt
}
/* behavior for `limit`: if it's...
- `undefined`: no limit.
- `NaN` or zero: return an empty array.
- a positive number: use `Math.floor(limit)`.
- a negative number: no limit.
- other: type-convert, then use the above rules. */
if (limit === undefined || +limit < 0) {
limit = Infinity;
} else {
limit = Math.floor(+limit);
if (!limit) {
return [];
}
}
while (match = separator.exec(str)) {
lastIndex = match.index + match[0].length; // `separator.lastIndex` is not reliable cross-browser
if (lastIndex > lastLastIndex) {
output.push(str.slice(lastLastIndex, match.index));
// fix browsers whose `exec` methods don't consistently return `undefined` for nonparticipating capturing groups
if (!cbSplit._compliantExecNpcg && match.length > 1) {
match[0].replace(separator2, function () {
for (var i = 1; i < arguments.length - 2; i++) {
if (arguments[i] === undefined) {
match[i] = undefined;
}
}
});
}
if (match.length > 1 && match.index < str.length) {
Array.prototype.push.apply(output, match.slice(1));
}
lastLength = match[0].length;
lastLastIndex = lastIndex;
if (output.length >= limit) {
break;
}
}
if (separator.lastIndex === match.index) {
separator.lastIndex++; // avoid an infinite loop
}
}
if (lastLastIndex === str.length) {
if (lastLength || !separator.test("")) {
output.push("");
}
} else {
output.push(str.slice(lastLastIndex));
}
return output.length > limit ? output.slice(0, limit) : output;
};
cbSplit._compliantExecNpcg = /()??/.exec("")[1] === undefined; // NPCG: nonparticipating capturing group
cbSplit._nativeSplit = String.prototype.split;
} // end `if (!cbSplit)`
// for convenience...
String.prototype.split = function (separator, limit) {
return cbSplit(this, separator, limit);
};
After trialling the code above and deleting caches it was found to do nothing...can anyone help at all, kind regards in advance.
Thanks EdoDodo for the above code but can you offer any further help as I am almost tearing my hair out and it did not work in the end, one point to note, the linked in button on the home page (if commented out) makes that site work for the home page and the error goes away but I really want the linked in buttons for each post excerpt on the home page.
