Problem is probably inside function1, could you post what "some code" actually is? – Catanddog

actually function1 is not called.. as i have put debugger at first line. – Lemos

Answer 1

I found the solution in my case.

<input id="function1" type="button" onclick="function1();">

I have used id of the input type button (ie: function1) as the same name of function (ie: function1).

As I don't know much about it. But by changing id of the button or function name solves my problem.

That makes sense. Internet Explorer has the bad habit of creating global variables for elements' IDs, overwriting existing variables and functions. – Catanddog

I had a javascript function with the same name as a hidden field. Changing that stopped this error. – Uzzia

Answer 2

Actually, 'Member Not Found' occurs on all browsers and other non-browser programs. In browsers, placing a button or radial with the same name as the function it calls within a form induces this error. Either rename the button or move it outside of the form.
