SCRIPT1014: Invalid character

Question

I have this script:

function slideSwitch() {
    var ae = jQuery(\'#featured-right a.active\');
    if ( ae.length == 0 ) {
        ae = jQuery(\'#featured-r         


        

Answer 1

I had this same problem. It said there was an error in line 1 row 1 of the main file. I use a ton of AJAX in the page I was using.

It all boiled down to the fact that I had onclick="#" on an A tag. Once I removed that, the error went away.

I think when jQuery loads the html via an AJAX call, it takes the onclick tags and processes the javascript it finds inside.
