I suspect one of your scripts includes a source map URL. (Minified jQuery contains a reference to a source map, for example.)

When you open the Chrome developer tools, Chrome will try to fetch the source map from the URL to aid debugging. However, the source map does not actually exist on your server, but you are instead sent a regular 404 page containing HTML.

This happened to me with a page loaded in via an iframe  The iframe src page had a 404 script reference  Obviously I couldn t find the script reference in the parent page  so it took me a while to find the culprit

Just ignore parameter passing as a false in java script functions  Ex     function getCities stateId locationId false               Avoid writting locationId  false kind of statements      your code comes here         Avoid writting locationId  false kind of statements  As this will give the error in chrome and IE

This usually happens when you re including or posting to a file which doesn t exist  The server will return a regular html-formatted  404 Not Found  enclosed with     lt html gt  lt  html gt      tags  That first chevron  lt  isn t valid js nor valid json  therefore it triggers an unexpected token   What if you try to change  funcoes enquete adm php  to an absolute url  just to be sure   EDIT  several years later    The root cause might not always come from 404 errors  Sometimes you can make a request to an API and receive HTML formatted errors  I ve stumbled to a couple of cases in which the API endpoint should have returned       error   you must be authenticated to make this request      With header 401  And instead I got   lt html gt You must be authenticated to make this request lt  html gt    With header 200    Given the header is 200 you can t tell the request has failed beforehand  and you re stuck to try and JSON parse the response to check if it s valid

When posting via ajax  it s always a good idea to first submit normally to ensure the file that s called is always returning valid data  json  and no errors with html tags or other   lt form action  path to file php  id  ajaxformx  gt    By adding x to id value  jquery will not process it   Once you are sure everything is fine then remove the x from id  ajaxform  and the empty the action attribute value  This is how I sorted the same error for myself just a few minutes ago

The error SyntaxError  Unexpected token  lt  likely means the API endpoint didn t return JSON in its document body  such as due to a 404    In this case  it expects to find a    start of JSON   instead it finds a  lt   start of a heading element     Successful response     lt html gt     lt head gt  lt  head gt     lt body gt        foo    bar    baz    qux      lt  body gt   lt  html gt    Not-found response     lt html gt     lt head gt  lt  head gt     lt body gt       lt h1 gt Not Found lt  h1 gt       lt p gt The requested URL was not found on the server   If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again  lt  p gt     lt  body gt   lt  html gt    Try visiting the data endpoint s URL in your browser to see what s returned

I had a similar problem  and my issue was that I was sending javascript to display console messages    Even when I looked at the file in my browser  not through the application  it showed exactly as I expected it to  eg the extra  tags weren t showing   but there were showing in the html text output and were trying to be parsed   Hope this helps someone

Just gonna throw this in here since I encountered the same error but for VERY different reasons   I m serving via node express jade and had ported an old jade file over  One of the lines was to not bork when Typekit failed   script type  text javascript     try Typekit load    catch e      It seemed innocuous enough  but I finally realized that for jade script blocks where you re adding content you need a     script type  text javascript      try Typekit load    catch e      Simple  but tricky

I was also having syntax error  unexpected token  lt  while posting a form via ajax  Then I used curl to see what it returns   curl -X POST --data  firstName a amp lastName a amp email array f com amp pass aaaa amp mobile 12345678901 amp nID 123456789123456789 amp age 22 amp prof xfd  http   handymama co CustomerRegistration php   I got something like this as a response     lt br   gt   lt b gt Warning lt  b gt    Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by  output started at  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php 1  in  lt b gt  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php lt  b gt  on line  lt b gt 3 lt  b gt  lt br   gt   lt br   gt   lt b gt Warning lt  b gt    Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by  output started at  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php 1  in  lt b gt  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php lt  b gt  on line  lt b gt 4 lt  b gt  lt br   gt   lt br   gt   lt b gt Warning lt  b gt    Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by  output started at  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php 1  in  lt b gt  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php lt  b gt  on line  lt b gt 7 lt  b gt  lt br   gt   lt br   gt   lt b gt Warning lt  b gt    Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by  output started at  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php 1  in  lt b gt  home handymama public html CustomerRegistration php lt  b gt  on line  lt b gt 8 lt  b gt  lt br   gt    So all I had to do is just change the log level to only errors rather than warning   error reporting E ERROR

This error can also arise from a JSON AJAX call to a PHP script that has an error in its code  Servers are often set up to return PHP error information formatted with html markup  This response is interpreted as invalid JSON  resulting in the  unexpected token  lt   AJAX error   To view the PHP error using Chrome  go to the Network panel in the web inspector  click the PHP file listed on the left side  and click on the Response tab

make sure you are not including the jquery code between the   lt  script    lt   script    If so remove that and code will work fine  It worked in my case

I suspect you re getting text html encoding in response to your request so I believe the issue is   dataType    json     try changing it to  dataType    html     From http   api jquery com jQuery get    dataType Type  String The type of data expected from the server  Default  Intelligent Guess  xml  json  script  or html
