JavaScript error (Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input)

indentationjavascriptjquerysyntaxsyntax-error

I have some JavaScript code that works in FireFox but not in Chrome or IE.

In the Chrome JS Console I get the follow error:

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input".

The JavaScript code I am using is:

<script>
 $(function() {
 $("#mewlyDiagnosed").hover(function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '237px', 'top': "-75px"});
 }, function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '162px', 'top': "0px"});
 });
</script>

It says the error is on the last line which is });

Best Answer

Add a second });.

When properly indented, your code reads

$(function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").hover(function() {
        $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '237px', 'top': "-75px"});
    }, function() {
        $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '162px', 'top': "0px"});
    });
MISSING!

You never closed the outer $(function() {.

Javascript – Storing Objects in HTML5 localStorage

Looking at the Apple, Mozilla and Mozilla again documentation, the functionality seems to be limited to handle only string key/value pairs.

A workaround can be to stringify your object before storing it, and later parse it when you retrieve it:

var testObject = { 'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3 };

// Put the object into storage
localStorage.setItem('testObject', JSON.stringify(testObject));

// Retrieve the object from storage
var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('testObject');

console.log('retrievedObject: ', JSON.parse(retrievedObject));

Seeing red errors

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

in your Chrome developer's console tab is an indication of HTML in the response body.

What you're actually seeing is your browser's reaction to the unexpected top line <!DOCTYPE html> from the server.
