    $(function(){
        for(var i=0;i<7; i++){
            var guy_html = '<div class="aname"><input type="text" class="chatter_input autofriend" name="guy'+String(i) + '" /></div>';
            $("div#guy_boxes").append(guy_html);

Uncaught Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #

Answer 1

Syntax error, unrecognized expression is an error that gets thrown by Sizzle (jQuery’s selection engine) when you have a poorly constructed selector. Getting it to trip over a # can happen if it comes at the end of your selector:

$("div#").append(guy_html);

However, your code looks okay. You may want to check other sections of javascript.
