Google Closure Compiler parse error: invalid property id for css({float:'left'})

I tried to use closure compiler from

http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home

to compile code

// ==ClosureCompiler==
// @output_file_name default.js
// @compilation_level ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS
// ==/ClosureCompiler==

css({ float: 'left' })

but got error

JSC_PARSE_ERROR: Parse error. invalid property id at line 1 character 6
css({ float: 'left' })

How to fix it? This code is used in Oleg jqGrid createContexMenuFromNavigatorButtons method posted in stackoverflow answer.

Answer 1

float is likely to be recognized as a reserved word (although it isn’t, it was in ES3), so it should be safe to use

css({ "float": "left"})
