The id of the input seems is not WallSearch. Maybe you're confusing that name and id. They are two different properties. name is used to define the name by which the value is posted, while id is the unique identification of the element inside the DOM.

Other possibility is that you have two elements with the same id. The browser will pick any of these (probably the last, maybe the first) and return an element that doesn't support the value property.

To solve the error, make sure to only access the length property on data types that support it - arrays and strings. ... Copied!const arr = undefined; // ⛔️ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length') arr.length;

July 15, 2022 - This means that even if the var temp line hasn't run yet, you have a variable named temp in your function, and its default value is undefined... so you're allowed to assign it to array[k]. That means you set the next array item to undefined, so that when your for-loop runs again, string1 is undefined and taking its length fails with an error.

May 28, 2025 -

I’m working in the p5.js editor and I’m having trouble with moving objects. I keep getting the error above, but I’m really not sure why.

https://editor.p5js.org/JadenRdcl/sketches/89YLI_gWD This is a really simple bouncing ball thing I made for an assignment a while back, and it worked fine. However, when I went back to see if it also had the error and it did, which is why I’m not sure what the problem is. The console also keeps saying things like “[p5.js, line 53353] Cannot read property of undefined” or “Error at line 53353 in _gridMap()” , and clicking on more info says “invalid file type” which makes me think I messed something up in the editor or on my device. Also, other programs I’ve made without moving objects work fine.

Any advice on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
