Enterprise architect javascript object error element type

When I get element type, I can't ask if element is Class:

var theElement as EA.Element;
theElement = Repository.GetTreeSelectedObject();

If (theElement.Type=="Class"){}

I get error "Object was expected". Also tried to create string variable, but didnt work... Any idea? Thanks.

TreeSelectedObject() does not necessarily return an EA.Element.
It could be EA.Diagram, EA.Package, EA.Attribute,...

You should first check whether the returned object is not null.
Then you can use theElement.ObjectType to distinguish between the different object types
