    The following causes the same error. Observe:

    CODE
    var Target = {
        window: null
    };

    Target.window.location = "top";

    Thanks, it gave me a brief idea of whats my error but I am still a bit lost.. So just to confirm, in this case, the error is caused because Target.window.location is null. Is it right?

    No, it caused an error because you're trying to lookup a property on another property whose value is null. In other words, it caused an error because Target.window is null.
