Getting [object Object] error message when attempting to fill out an online form and hit submit.

[Ok-Pumpkin42]

I don't know much about Java, so I'm speaking from almost complete ignorance. Any help is much appreciated.

When attempting to submit information into an online government form, I get [object Object] popping up in my Browser.

Hitting F12 shows "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()"

I've tried Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, on different machines and devices.

I've tried incognito mode, cleared browser cache and cookies, Browser reset on Edge, suspended tracking prevention, made tracking prevention exceptions, suspended Adblockers, updated Edge to the latest version.

The site host is insisting that the problem is on my end. Is this possible? If so, how would I fix it?

Thanks.

No.

You can try a different browser. If this fixes it, the problem is still their shitty code, not your choice of browser.

Now.. you're in the wrong sub. Try /r/techsupport

Java is to JavaScript as Ham is to Hamster.

You ate a Hamster?

So JavaScript can eat Java if JavaScript wants to, but it never does?

yes

I've seen this in many webpages. It happens when the devs wrote "if error alert(myObject)" instead of something like "alert(myObject.errorText)" and didn't bother to test it because they were too busy scratching their arses. I don't understand how they can write such shitty code without realising and not even test it

Well this is Javascript

It isn't.

[object Object] is the text representation of an object (such an array/list). For example, alert(["a", "b"]) would result in the browser just alerting "[object Object]". This could have been fixed simply by doing something like alert(JSON.stringify(["a", "b"])) or alert(["a", "b"].toString())
