A friend wrote some code for me, and there was one file with a weird syntax error in it. After a bit of hunting, I narrowed it down to this section of code, which should reproduce the error:
var say = functіon(message) {
alert(message);
return message;
};
say(say("Goodbye!"));
When I run this, I see an error in the Internet Explorer console that says SCRIPT1004: Expected ';'
. I don't see a semicolon missing anywhere, and I can't imagine where it wants me to put one.
Where does it expect a semicolon and why does it expect a semicolon there?
Your issue is the fact that the i
in functіon
is the Unicode character U+0456 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I
. If you change it to a 'normal' i
it should just work.
But now I'm wondering how the hack :) did you get a Cyrillic character there :P
