Also for the Google-fodder  check in your text editor whether the  js file is saved as Unicode and consider setting it to ANSI  also check if the linefeeds are set to DOS and consider switching them to Unix  depending on your server  of course

Another possible cause for Googlers  Using additional units in a size like so       file upload   uploadify        uploader       uploadify uploadify swf        script         uploadify uploadify php        cancelImg      uploadify cancel png        folder         uploads        queueID            custom-queue        buttonImg    img select-images png        width    351px        Setting  351px  there gave me the error  Removing  px  banished the error

When in doubt    use JSLint to get it out   http   www jslint com  I just ran into a similar problem whilst copying this from JFiddle      input name MeetAll    change function  e          MeetMost   attr  checked        MeetAll   attr  checked            input name MeetMost    change function  e          MeetAll   attr  checked        MeetMost   attr  checked            Jslint told me i had a random     Charachter     Things that make you go  hmmmmmm

Delete all invisible characters  whitespace  around that area  then give it another try   I ve seen that error in Safari when copy pasting code  You can pick up some invalid  and unfortunately invisible  characters   Used to happen to me a lot when copying from jsFiddle

Double backslash also works   Then you declare there really should be a   instead of some function or something    lt script gt document write   lt script src       gt  lt   script gt     lt  script gt

It doesn t apply to this particular code example  but as Google food  since I got the same error message    lt script gt document write   lt script src       gt  lt  script gt     lt  script gt    will give this error but   lt script gt document write   lt script src       gt  lt     script gt     lt  script gt    will not   Further explanation here  Why split the  lt script gt  tag when writing it with document write

Note for anyone running Vagrant  this can be caused by a bug with their shared folders  Specify NFS for your shared folders in your Vagrantfile to avoid this happening   Simply adding type   nfs  to the end will do the trick  like so   config vm synced folder        vagrant   type   nfs
