Question

I have the following script, which returns me the following error in my console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }..

The } in between ** is the one causing the problem according to my console. But that’s the bracket which closes the ‘success’ of the AJAX request.. And also if i remove the statement pointed out with the -> the error seems to disappear. Does someone see what is wrong about this?

Note: I don’t have those ** in my code, that’s just for pointing out the error.

$(document).ready(function() {
            $('#edit_patient_info').click(function () {
                //Get the data from all the fields

                    $.ajax({
                        url: "patient_info_controller.php", 
                        type: "POST",
                        data: data,     
                        success: function (msg) {
                            if (msg==1) {             
                                getPersoonlijkGegevens(user_id);
                                unLockFirstPage();
                                alert("Gegevens zijn gewijzigd!");
                                $("#searchbox").val(voornaam.val());
                                searchPatient();
                          ->    $('#selectable li:first').addClass('ui-selected');​
                            }
                        **}**       
                    });
            }); 
        });

Answer 1

You had a hidden character after $('#selectable li:first').addClass('ui-selected');

That invalidated your code. Usually, these can be seen when you copy your code to notepad (Or notepad++).
In notepad++, it displayed .addClass('ui-selected');?

Also, you had a extra }.

Try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#edit_patient_info').click(function () {
        //Get the data from all the fields

        $.ajax({
            url: "patient_info_controller.php", 
            type: "POST",
            data: data,     
            success: function (msg) {
                if (msg==1) {             
                    getPersoonlijkGegevens(user_id);
                    unLockFirstPage();
                    alert("Gegevens zijn gewijzigd!");
                    $("#searchbox").val(voornaam.val());
                    searchPatient();
                    $('#selectable li:first').addClass('ui-selected');
                }
            }      
        });
    });
});
