Question

Here is my code:

<cfscript language="javascript">
      OpenText(document.getElementById(#url.id#));
</cfscript>

Here is the error:

Invalid token l found on line 731 at column 19.

The CFML compiler was processing:

A cfscript tag beginning on line 731, column 10.

Why?

Answer 1

<cfscript> doesn’t take a language attribute. You are probably just wanting to do:

<script type="text/javascript">
<cfoutput>
OpenText(document.getElementById(#url.id#));
</cfoutput>
</script>

Incidentally, the language attribute is also deprecated on the <script> tag in HTML 4, and you should use type instead (as in my example). In HTML5 you can just do <script> without either language or type attributes.
