Question

I have written a javascript that works well in all browser except Internet Explorer and Safari. In both browsers there is a syntax error, and Safari even tells me the exact line of that error:

(function($)
{
    Astrups.debugger = // This line!
    {

The variable Astrups was defined as such earlier in the script:

var Astrups = {};

Any ideas? Thanks

I should perhaps mention the error messager. Safari tells me:

SyntaxError: Parse error

And internet explorer simply complains that Astrups in undefined in the HTML file.

Yes, debugger is a keyword which acts as a debugger breakpoint.

Write debugger; in your code and IE will always break while real browsers will only break if a debugger (e.g. Firebug) is active.
