In the IE developer (F12) console, I've managed to get my pages to run without errors; all but one!
SCRIPT1002: Syntax error
mypage.php, line 1 character 6
I am using IE9. Whats it's problem?
This is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/files/jquery-1.7.2.min.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#donateButton").click(function() {
alert('hey');
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:void();" id="donateButton">asdsadasd</a>
</body>
When I click on #donateButton
an error is produced. However, when I change javascript:void()
to #
then no error occurs any more. Why?
"WAIT... does IE9 not like
<a href="javascript:void();" id="donateButton">
?? It seems thats the problem..?"

Yes, that is the problem. void
is an operator, not a function. Use javascript:void 0
, javascript:void(0)
or #
. Even better, add event.preventDefault()
to your function:
$('#donateButton').click(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
alert('hello');
});
