eme_location_map.js Lines 72 through 77

[Anonymous]

“eme_location_map.js” Line 72, 73, 75, 76 and 77 end-of-line characters should be “escaped” with backlashes, because otherwise it is ambiguous whether following lines are parts of the same statements. Some JavaScript implementations assume that sequential lines without terminating semicolons should be concatenated, but others process code on separate lines as separate statements with or without semicolons. Backslash end-of-line “escape” characters insure correct interpretation in either case.

This:

var li_element = "<li id='location-"+item.location_id

+ "' style='list-style-type: upper-alpha'><a >"

+ item.location_name+"</a></li>";

var location_info = "<div class="eme-location-balloon"><strong>"+ item.location_name

+ "</strong><br/>" + item.location_address + ", "

+ item.location_town + "<br/><small><a href='" + events_page_link

+ joiner + "location_id=" + item.location_id + "'>Details<a></div>";

Should be:

var li_element = "<li id='location-"+item.location_id 

+ "' style='list-style-type: upper-alpha'><a >" 

+ item.location_name+"</a></li>";

var location_info = "<div class="eme-location-balloon"><strong>"+ item.location_name 

+ "</strong><br/>" + item.location_address + ", " 

+ item.location_town + "<br/><small><a href='" + events_page_link 

+ joiner + "location_id=" + item.location_id + "'>Details<a></div>";

It is ambiguous whether these lines are parts of the same statements, but my recommendation above to add backslash characters is wrong, because I found they are not supported in this application by JavaScript. I avoid this problem in my own code by putting full statements on same lines and letting the code editor wrap them. However, though the solution I recommended above works in certain other languages it is not supported by JavaScript, so please disregard this post.

ok, disregarded 🙂
