JS 'unexpected identifier SyntaxError' while validating html5 local website #20

Closed wrksx closed 9 years ago

I had this error showing up when trying to validate my website :

Error in event handler for 'undefined': Unexpected identifier SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier at _logMessages (chrome-extension://bbicmjjbohdfglopkidebfccilipgeif/validity.js:124:8) at chrome-extension://bbicmjjbohdfglopkidebfccilipgeif/validity.js:140:8 at miscellaneous_bindings:288:9 at chrome.Event.dispatchToListener (eventbindings:387:21) at chrome.Event.dispatch (event_bindings:373:27) at chrome.Event.dispatch (event_bindings:393:17) at Object.chromeHidden.Port.dispatchOnMessage (miscellaneous_bindings:254:22)

The extension was working just fine with the old doctype :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Trying to replace it with the (simpler) html5 one gave me the error : Not sure the error is related to the doctype itself, but when coming back to the old doctype the extension works again. The site is on localhost, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on any 'on-line' website (even on html5 ones).

Same kind of error validating a localhost site:

Error in event handler for (unknown): SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Probably the error is caused by the fact I had this error in the code: ' in an unquoted attribute value. Probable causes: Attributes running together or a URL query string in an unquoted attribute value. (W3C validator)
