little Javascript help

[Cabbit]

how do i get it so that my script wont error out when the element editor isnt present?

<script type="text/javascript">
			window.onload = function()
				{
				var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'editor' ) ;
				oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../editor/" ;
				oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
				}
		</script>

Add a try/catch block.

this is what i tryed

try
  {
window.onload = function()
				{
				var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'editor' ) ;
				oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../editor/" ;
				oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
				}
}
catch(err)
  {
}

witch is the best i could work out how to stop the error, but my javascript skills is really limited.

This code will assume 'editor' is an id attribute for a tag in the document. You can add an else statement if you have something else to do if it's not present.

window.onload = function()
{
  if (document.getElementById('editor')) {
    var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'editor' ) ;
    oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../editor/" ;
    oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
  }
}
