Question

Hi there I have this code:

function getFullnameDetails(mainHeight,upperstyle,type=''){
    setTimeout(function(){fullnameCenter(mainHeight,upperstyle,type='')},2000);
}
function fullnameCenter(mainHeight,upperstyle,type=''){
    var distOfMainAndUpper = mainHeight - upperstyle;
    var mainHalfHeight = mainHeight/2;
    var imageHeight = jQuery("img[rel='fullname']").height(); //there is a delay
    var imageHalfHeight = imageHeight/2;
    var fromImageTopToMainHalf = mainHalfHeight - imageHeight;
    var position = imageHalfHeight+fromImageTopToMainHalf-distOfMainAndUpper;
    if(type == 'big'){ jQuery("#temp .test1").css("bottom",position+"px"); }
    else { jQuery(".test1").css("bottom",position+"px"); }


}

It says that I’m missing ) after formal parameters.
This happens on this line:

function getFullnameDetails(mainHeight,upperstyle,type=''){ //IT HAPPENS HERE! :)
    setTimeout(function(){fullnameCenter(mainHeight,upperstyle,type='')},2000);
}

What am I doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance for the help 🙂

Javascript does not support default function parameter values.

You can do things like this (but be wary of unintended ‘falsey’ values):

function getFullnameDetails(mainHeight,upperstyle,type){
  type = type || ''; // if type is 'falsey' (null, undefined, empty string) assign ''
  //...
}
