Strange Unexpected token ILLEGAL in JavaScript [closed]
I have a syntax error which I cannot solve. Based on W3 jQuery schools, this should be okay. Can anyone help?
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(“a”).click(function(){
**Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL**
$(#content).toggle(400);
});
});
</script>
Strings need to be surrounded with U+0022
(double quote - "
) characters or U+0027
(apostrophe - '
) characters.
Your first selector, a
is surrounded with a pair of U+201C
/U+201D
(left double quotation mark/right double quotation mark - “
/”
) characters.
Your second selector (#content
) has no quotes around it at all.
You selector needs to be a string
$(#content).toggle(400);
Should be
$("#content").toggle(400);
