Syntax error?

Jul 13, 2012 10:53 AM

Tags: #error #dreamweaver #syntax_error

Dreamweaver is telling me there's a syntax error, and yet I see no errors around the line.

 

This is the part of the page

 

<script type="text/javascript">

    function logout(){

    document.forms["logoutform"].submit();

    }

   

    function openMail(){

        window.open("/mail.php","mailer","menubar=no,toolbar=no,height=360,wi dth=485");

    }

   

    //Preload

    function preload() {

              for (i = 0; i < preload.arguments.length; i++) {

                        images[i] = new Image()

                        images[i].src = preload.arguments[i]

              }

    }

    preload("/tabHover.png");

    </script>

-->DREAMWEAVER SHOWS ERROR IS ON THIS BLANK LINE<--

    <style type="text/css">

 

Why does it say there is a error there? If I take the > off of </script> it says there's no error.

    You are missing line terminators in your for loop.

    Ah, good find, however I fixed that and it still says syntax error.

    I fixed one other error (images was not defined) and it runs fine in the browser, but dreamweaver still says there's a syntax error.

    Even if I comment everything out inside the script block it still says there's a syntax error.

    Sometimes the syntax checker gets a little tired.

     

    Usually, the error message goes away if you save the file, close it, and reopen it.

    Hm... I tried closing and opening it, and even closing and opening dreamweaver, and I still get the error message. I'm sure I'm doing something dumb... does having a HTML5 document make a difference?

     

        <script type="text/javascript">

        function logout(){

        document.forms["logoutform"].submit();

        }

     

        function openMail(){

            window.open("/mail.php","mailer","menubar=no,toolbar=no,height=360,wi dth=485");

        }

     

        //Preload

              var images = new Array();

        function preload() {

                  for (i = 0; i < preload.arguments.length; i++) {

                            images[i] = new Image();

                            images[i].src = preload.arguments[i];

                  }

        }

        preload("/tabHover.png");

        </script>

    -->THIS IS THE LINE IT MARKS THE ERROR ON<--

        <style type="text/css">
