javascript Firebug error: Identifier starts immediately after numeric literal

I've got this error being reported in firebug, but I have no idea what it means:

Identifier starts immediately after numeric literal

Here is my webpage: http://www.austintreeexperts.com/maps/optionUpdateMap.cfm?zoom=15

When the page and map loads, click on one of the blue or green markers. Then click on one of the check boxes to get the error. I have an onclick= for the input checkboxes.

Solution

  • Your string concatenation is broken. You need to wrap your method parameters in quotes 

    var statusForm = '<input id="tU'+Aid+'" type="checkbox" onclick="optionAUpdate(tU'+Aid+', '+color+', '+optionB+')"/> option A  |  <input id="iU'+Aid+'" onclick="optionBUpdate(iU'+Aid+', '+color+', '+optionA+')" type="checkbox"/> options B';
From here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------^

    Corrected version

    var statusForm = '<input id="tU' + Aid + '" type="checkbox" onclick="optionAUpdate(\'tU' + Aid + '\', \'' + color + '\', \'' + optionB + '\')"/> option A'

    Note : I've treated all your params as strings
