Solution 1

In IE8 Standards Mode (as opposed to Compatibility Mode) the getElementById method is case sensitive. Is your ID name the right case? Should it be "ID", or maybe "Id"?

"id" is just given as example thats it,code working fine when compatibility view is on, when it is off same code showing object required

But what I'm telling you is that IE8 Standards mode REQUIRES that the specified element name (or ID) is CASE-SENSITIVE. THAT is your problem.

Solution 2

have to pass exact value to getElementById Method as it is case sensitive. so check the id which you have passed is correct or not
