Question

I have a pretty straightforward snippet of JS/jQuery I’m using to extract some content from a page:

(function (idx) { 
  var product = $(".product_wrapper img")[idx]; 
  return (product && product.src) ? product.src.match(/([^]+)\\_/)[1] : "" 
}(0)).split('_')[1]

Works just fine in most browsers, but IE7 & IE8 are throwing errors. In IE7 the error message reads [object Error] and in IE8 it reads SyntaxError: Expected '/'.

Anybody know what’s wrong with this code? Am I using some syntactic sugar that MSIE doesn’t like? Been puzzling over this one and I’m stumped.

Answer 1

if product.src.match(/([^]+)\\_/) is null

product.src.match(/([^]+)\\_/)[1] will cause object Error
