Unterminated string constant in IE

When i open my page in IE it shows an error Unterminated string constant om
Line.....
When i look at the line it shows the line where the </SCRIPT> tag is ????

Moziila dose not see this error, allso avant browser (shell for IE) dosent
see it.
the script works fine, i'm just anoyed with IE calling errors.
Anybody know why this is?

IE's error reports are notoriously vague and rarely point directly to
the cause.

Reduce the code to the minimum that still shows the error. If you can't
fix it from there, post it or a link.

Well, if you didn't terminate the string constant before, this is where
the parser would definitly have to say that it's too late.
It would be great with a hint to what line the string literal started
on, though, but IE's error messages are rarely that helpful.

Guess there is something wrong somewhere then.

Are you watching the javascript console in Mozilla? An unterminated
string literal is unlikely to only be unterminated in one browser,
unless the browsers are sent different pages, or you are using IE's
conditional comments to have an IE-only script.

Without seeing the page? Unlikely.

Hi, this is the first lines of a function. Although it runs, it still throws an "Unterminated string constant" error in the browser. It is all in one line, just wouldn't fit here. The error appears to occur right after type='+typeIn+'&id <----before the = Any clues appreciated! Thanks, Kathy

Hi, does anyone know why this: <a onclick="insertatcaret(window.opener.document.formname.fieldname,'<td class="header">')">text</a> returns a "Unterminated String Constant" error message in IE 6.0 but if I take out the double quotes around header it does not? I need double quotes around header, I thought this was possible in javascript so long as the pair of double quotes is surrounded by a pair of single quotes.

Let's say I have a string: div.innerHTML = "<a onclick='foo(\""+myWord+"\");'></a>"; in IE only (tested version 7) if var myWord = "English" then it works fine but if var myWord = "Modifier Cha\u00EEnes" then I get "Unterminated string constant" error. What fix would you suggest to keep div.innerHTML = "" format?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
