Syntax Error: Unexpected Identifier

I made some code that wouldn't work. An error popped up in the Chrome console saying "Syntax error: Unexpected identifier". Error is on line 19. Here is the code:

13.      var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas")
14.      var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d")
15.      function getMousePos(canvas,evt){
16.          var rect=canvas.getBindingClientRect()
17.          return{
18.               x:evt.clientX-rect.left
19.               y:evt.clientY-rect.top
20.          }
21.      }
22.      canvas.addEventListener("mouseclick",function(evt){
23.           var mousePos=getMousePos(canvas,evt)
24.           ctx.fillRect(mousePos.x-15,mousePos.y-15,10,10)
25.      },false)
Solution

  • from line 17: add a comma on line 18 as @thg435 mentioned

    return {
  x:evt.clientX-rect.left,
  y:evt.clientY-rect.top  
}
