Question

I’ve been messing around with Mustache.js & the Github api & have run into a little snag when I try to load more results that actually aren’t available. My hope was to show a message or throw an error when this happens but it does not work.

Take a look at http://jsbin.com/upohuz/4/edit to see where I’m at because I’m sure its a simple fix or something that I’ve overlooked.

The error I get when I try to load items that aren’t available is:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression:

which pertains to line 59 of the example:

$(html).appendTo('#foo');

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to write

$('#foo').append(html);

It will not throw any errors on empty html.
