Need Help with "Unterminated String Constant" Error

[xyzuser]

At the suggestion of people in the Windows XP Forum, I am re-posting this in this forum.

I am getting an error when my pages load. The error is unterminated string constant . It is saying "Line: 78 - Char:25 . But there isn't any character "25" on that line (line 78 is the last the line of the code below with </script> after the call to the external Javascript.

Here is the code:

<script  type="text/JavaScript">
myvar1="/mypageA.html"
</script>

<script src="jscript/Menu01.js" type="text/JavaScript">
</script>

The variable myvar1 is being passed to the external Javascript.

Everything works properly despite the error message.

But it doesn't look nice (nor professsional) to visitors to see the "Done with errors" message and symbol.

So what is wrong here? And where is it wrong - in this code, in the external javascript code?

Thanks

Hi

So what is wrong here?

Here nothing. Either show us more code or use FireBug for debugging.

My guess is that the error is somewhere in Menu01.js. Just a hunch.

Indeed, more code would be good. But please - make sure it's real code, not retyped as mistakes can creep in that way.

Also, make sure you're careful when taking code from responses (see thread216-1494587 for a reminder about why!).

Hope this helps,
