Question

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('input#zip').autocomplete({
            var cityAndState = joinedValues.split("|")[1];
            dataType: "json",
            source: "../src/php/registration/getFanLoc.php",
            minLength: 3,
            select: function(event, args) {
                event.preventDefault();
                var joinedValues = args.item.value;
                var id = joinedValues.split("|")[0];
                var cityAndState = joinedValues.split("|")[1];
                document.getElementById('actualZip').value = id;
                document.getElementById('zip').value = cityAndState;
            }
        });
    });

</script>

JavaScript Console in FF is throwing this error:

missing : after property id
[Break On This Error]   

var cityAndState= joinedValues.split("|")[1];

How do I fix this? I’m a bit confused and really appreciate some help.

Answer 1

As the error is trying to tell you:

var cityAndState = joinedValues.split("|")[1];

cannot appear in an object literal.
