Question

Perhaps I’m just being dense, but I don’t understand why Netbeans is telling me this is bad syntax:

var events = {
    'onkeyup'  : 0,
    'onchange' : 0,
    'onclick'  : 0
};

Lines 2-4 are squiggled red.

Answer 1

D’oh! I failed to realize that this JavaScript is being parsed by PHP and contains some PHP code prior to the object literal assignment. Apparently the JavaScript Debugger is not too happy about statements like:

var foo = <?php print $bar ?>;

Go figure. 😛
