missing : after property id

[Ciary]

hi all,

i have a problem with some javascript i've created. im trying to create a new class but on the second line (after i created the class) firebug throws me a 'fatal error: missing : after property id' (wth, how unclear can you be???). i've searched google te find out whats causing it but all things i found were irrelevant to my problem.

here is the code where the error occurs.

myclass = Class.create({
                private demo1            = "";             //ERROR
                private demo2            = "";
                private demo3            = "";
 
          ...
 
         })
 

i've also tried to do it with 'var' instead of 'private' and i also tried 'var myclass = {' but it didnt work either.

i hope someone can help me out.

do you use any framework? Class.create() is not a native javascript method. in any case when you write:

// this are object literals to create a new javascript object
{}

you have to use it the following way:

{
    foo: 'bar',
    bar: 'foo'
}

kind regards

Are you sure that's JavaScript (that script language used on websites) or do you mean Java?

[edit] darn again, second time today...

i got it from another javascript library so i'm pretty sure it's javascript. anyhow, when i tried this code it gave nearly the same error, but then on the first line. although this time it was because of a ; rather then a :

the error: 'fatal error: missing ; before statement'

myclass{                                                            //ERROR
                 private demo1            = "",
                 private demo2            = "",
                 private demo3            = "",
 
           ...
 
          }

as i already showed you ... the curly brackets are syntactically object literals. when you create a 'class' you would need to write a constructor and its methods unless you use a javascript-lib to 'help' you:

example for a selfmade 'class'

function OBJ() {
    this.foo = 'bar';
    this.bar = 'foo';
}
 
var o = new OBJ;
 
alert(o.foo);
 

or when you use a lib it might look like:

var o = Class.create({
    foo: 'bar',
    bar: 'foo'
});

class.Create({.....}); it is used in prototype framework.....
