Question

I am sure I am doing something silly here:

var addhtml = '<div id="leftbio" class="left-float">'
+= '<div id="bioname">e["screen_name]</div>'
+= '<div id="biophoto"><img src="e["profile_image_url"]"/></div>'
+= '<div id="biodetails">e["description"]</div>'
+= '</div>';             // invalid assignment left-hand side
console.log(addhtml);

And Netbeans is telling me that invalid assignment left-hand side error.

Whats wrong ?

Answer 1

You don’t need += to concatenate, you just need +

This is ok

var addhtml = '<div id="leftbio" class="left-float">'
+ '<div id="bioname">e["screen_name]</div>'
+ '<div id="biophoto"><img src="e["profile_image_url"]"/></div>'
+'<div id="biodetails">e["description"]</div>'
+ '</div>';         
console.log(addhtml);
