How To Solve This "missing ) Argument After List"?

Post a Comment
This looks like a trivial question, but I am not sure how to deal with it. I have a DIV tag generated from javascript that goes like this: $('#results') .append('
quote:

  • var x = "I don't like you!";
  • var y = 'I don\'t like you!';
  • var z = 'echo "this text?";';

To implement it on your case, it would be like this:

'<DIVid='
 + A.pid
 + 'onmouseover=function(){google.maps.event.trigger(marker, \'mouseover\');};><H3>'
 + A.name
 + '</H3></DIV>'

Solution 2:

You issue is in the use of the ' character to delimit both the function and the arguments in your call.

Either switch one set of ' out for " or use \' around the values of the argument

$('#results')
 .append('<DIVid='
 + A.pid
 + 'onmouseover=function(){google.maps.event.trigger(marker, "mouseover");};><H3>'
 + A.name
 + '</H3></DIV>');

//OR

$('#results')
 .append('<DIVid='
 + A.pid
 + 'onmouseover=function(){google.maps.event.trigger(marker, \'mouseover\');};><H3>'
 + A.name
 + '</H3></DIV>');

Solution 3:

Try to generate the following string

'<DIVid=' + 
A.pid  + 
'onmouseover=\"google.maps.event.trigger(marker, \'mouseover\');\"><H3>' + 
A.name + '</H3></DIV>'

Solution 4:

You need to put " around the values of your html attributes. Otherwise the browser thinks the attribute ends at the next whitespace and that is exactly right after the (marker, part.

$('#results')
 .append('<DIV id="'
 + A.pid + '"'
 + ' onmouseover="function(){google.maps.event.trigger(marker, \'mouseover\');};"><H3>'
 + A.name
 + '</H3></DIV>');

Solution 5:

Several things

  1. Stop putting HTML in all caps. This is the 21st century not the 20th century.
  2. You don't need an anonymous function for the onmouseover event.
  3. Wrap attribute values in either single or double quotes (I use double below).
  4. Read about JavaScript strings and quotes. Here is a tutorial.

Try this

    $('#results').append('<divid="' +
    A.pid +
    '"onmouseover="google.maps.event.trigger(marker, \'mouseover\');"><h3>' +
    A.name +
    '</h3></div>');
