I keep on getting a syntax error in this HTML/JavaScript code and I can’t seem to figure out why.

Any ideas?

<li onClick="document.getElementById(\'attribute83\').selectedIndex ="2", spConfig.configureElement($("attribute83")); class="some-css-class"><a href="http://www.example.com">Something</a></li>'

    Because your onClick handler has a syntax error.

    The web browser will take everything between the two quote on your onClick handler

    onClick="document.getElementById('attribute83').selectedIndex ="2"

    which means

    document.getElementById(\'attribute83\').selectedIndex ="2

    This isn’t valid javascript. If you’re using onclick handlers you can have the quotes used to enclose your html attribute (“) in your javascript.
