Question

I am getting the following error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

and this is showing on line 1 of my page.

I am using the following code:

$('.hollaBackClick').live('click', function(){

    var currentElement = $(this);
    var hollaID = currentElement.attr('hollaID');
    var userID = currentElement.attr('userID');
    var username = currentElement.attr('username');

    var hollaBackBoxHTML = '<form id="hollaBackForm">' +
        '<input type="hidden" name="hollaID" value="' + hollaID + '" />' +
        '<input type="hidden" name="userID" value="' + userID + '" />' +
        '<input type="hidden" name="username" value="' + username + '" />' +
        '<textarea name="hollaBackContent" id="hollaBackContent" placeholder="HollardBack@' + username + '" />' +
        '<input type="submit" name="hollaBackSubmit" id="hollaBackSubmit" value="HollaBack" />' +
    '</form>';

    currentElement.after(hollaBackBoxHTML);

});

I am using click events all over the website and this is the only place I get the error and I am somewhat stumped into what could be causing the issue…

Answer 1

currentElement.after(hollaBackBoxHTML);

are you trying to do like this?
