Hi deepak09 & performance
could anyone of you provide a smaple that would reproduce this issue? Also if possible try using the latest freshly to see if the error is still occurring. What ZK editions are you using CE/PE or EE? Is this error specific to any browser or it is consistent for all browsers?

We're getting a similar error, that says "Failed to mount: 'length' is null or not an object"
It is tough to reproduce this as a simple ZUL, since it involves a few Java classes calling each other and referencing each other.

My question is: Is there some way to track down the approximate area (e.g. the particular component) causing the error, so that we can debug it faster?

Hi,
While debugging i found that this error comes when component is not mounted and something is trying to access that component.
But one good think about this error :) was majority of times it does not stop the flow of the application or site.So one way around
is to catch the error and don''t do anything :)Not a proper solution but a way around for critical situation for emergency.in zk.jar mount.js,mount.src contains the function in which catch block is having code for failed to mount error.if we comment that line then message for error won't come.
if anybody got proper solution please share it

We are starting to see this in ZK 5.0.6 EE as well now. Just now I got this: "Failed to mount: this.$n() is undefined"

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to spot a pattern to reproduce it. Also, it seems random in whether or not it stops the flow of our application(s).

The sad part of this is that I cannot upgrade my production customers to 5.0.6 while this is going on. It seems we'll have to rewrite some code - we were trying to take advantage of new 5.0.6 functionality. Now I simply can't afford to take the risk.

If someone finds a fix, I'd sure appreciate the insight.

@ashishd,

If I can find a way to reproduce the error with any regularity, I will be happy to post a bug in the tracker.

In our case, we found that the problem is related to the unofficial Selectbox component (http://blog.zkoss.org/index.php/2010/12/21/a-lightweight-dropdown-list-selectbox/)
It only happens when this component is empty. I think it might be when some code mistakenly tries to set the selectedIndex while it is empty.
