SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Question

I am getting the syntax error:

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

From this jQuery code:

$(\'#contentData\').append         


        

Answer 1

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list.

the issue also may occur if you pass string directly without a single or double quote.

$('#contentData').append("
View »
").

so always keep the habit to pass in a quote like

 onclick=\"(canLaunch(\'' + v.LibraryItemName  + '\'))"\
