JavaScript/ jQuery Error ‘expected identifier, string or number’ in IE

IE sucks… and nothing to do coz. it’s windows default browser.

Hi this is my first post on JavaScript in my blog.. 🙂 I get a new error (JavaScript Error ‘expected identifier, string or number’ in IE) in JavaScript on IE when developing an application and got a solution on googling and post this here….

Sometimes we get this error and can’t seem to find a solution. It is worked on Firefox without no problem but on IE it throw an “expected identifier, string or number” error to the last line of the variable declaration. Take a look at the following codes that I was worked on..

1.  $(“#scrollin_project”).carousel({
2. direction: “vertical”,
3. loop: true,
4. dispItems: 3,
5. autoSlide: true,
6. animSpeed: 1500,
7. nextBtn: ‘<input id=”btn_down” type=”button” value=”” />’,
8. prevBtn: ‘<input id=”btn_up” type=”button” value=”” />’,
9. });

In IE, the error was reporting “expected identifier, string or number” on the last line of my (above) codes. Look at the line number 8, there is a comma (,) at the end of the code. And IE catch this as an JavaScript Error.

And Here is the error free codes

1.  $(“#scrollin_project”).carousel({
2. direction: “vertical”,
3. loop: true,
4. dispItems: 3,
5. autoSlide: true,
6. animSpeed: 1500,
7. nextBtn: ‘<input id=”btn_down” type=”button” value=”” />’,
8. prevBtn: ‘<input id=”btn_up” type=”button” value=”” />’
9. });

Now look at the end of the line number 8 of the above codes, it simple, I just delete the comma(,) and now there is no error on any browser.
