There are some issues which are almost impossible to debug, but when you spot whats wrong, you feel incredibly stupid. This was one of those errors.
Got this error, when I copy-pasted javascript code from the <head>
of an HTML document and spent close to half an hour figuring out what was wrong. So what was wrong? Well I forgot to strip the <script></script>
tags from the Javascript that I copied!
I was pulling my hair out for the past half hour and I couldn’t tell what was wrong with my script.
Thanks mate.
Oh man, thank you for posting this. I was in the exact same situation and it was driving me nuts. Worse yet, I’d actually deliberately _added_ the script markup to the js file, because it briefly looked like one browser I was developing for required them…
