Hi!


i have one code

Yes, you sure do. Unfortunately, it is perched on top of other (very
bad) code.

        var data =response.cards;
                        alert(data);
                        $('#cards_received').html('');

                        for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
                                var datac=data;
                                var response = eval(" (" + datac + ") ");
                                var divcard='<div id="" class="vcard"
onclick="Card.showprofileon_recv_card('+response+');" style="border-
bottom:1px solid white;background-image: url(images/'+data.image
+');">'+data.user_from+'</div>';
                                $('#cards_received').append(divcard);
                        }

I suggest you get a debugger. Oh and lose jQuery too as it will only
complicate your debugging efforts.

Best of luck. Bye!

If you want help, your best bet is to make life as easy as possible
for those reading your post. Format code with indents of 2 or 4 spaces
(not tabs) and wrap at about 70 characters.

It should be possible for readers to copy and paste your posted code,
run it and see the same error as you.

Likely there is an error attempting to eval your JSON.

Here's a hint: get your JSON string as a literal and eval it to see if
you get what you expect. If it's not correct, keep cutting it down
until you find out which part is causing you issues.

Tidied up and presented as a string literal (aka JSON):

var obj =
'{' +
' "success": true,' +
' "cards": [' +
' {' +
' "message": "",' +
' "status": "A",' +
' "user_from": "Rahul1\'s Gib",' +
' "card_type": "Access Card",' +
' "image": "wildcard.jpg",' +
' "cardid": "22",' +
' "email": "rahul1",' +
' "gibs": "",' +
' "msg": "Rahul1's Gib send you Access Card saying "' +
' }' +
' ]' +
' }'


I've left the error in there for you to find.

Another suggestion is to keep examples as short as possible while
still illustrating the error. That will often lead you to discover the
error before you post slabs of unformatted, difficult to read code.

Your JSON has embedded quotes, fix them (either using a regular
expression at the client or at the server before sending) before
calling eval.

Please see:

i have one code

Valid javascript source code consists of statements and function
declarations. Invalid code contains SyntaxErrors.

You've posted code using spaces and tabs and the code has wrapped an
line breaks have been inserted, making it syntactically invalid. You did
not state which browsers and versions the error was reported in.

Your code contains references to identifier `$`. I suggest removing that
(whatever it is).

[...]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// getting error here

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is an error in eval'ing `data`.

my response
{'success':true,'cards':
[{"message":"","status":"A","user_from":"Rahul1's

A newline in a string literal is a SyntaxError. It cannot be determined
or not this newline was automatically inserted as a result of posting it
or if it was present in your source code. That is why you should have
formatted the lines to about 72 characters.

Have you considered using JSON instead?
<http://json.org>.

until you find out which part is causing you issues.

Yes, these types of issues often come down to process of elimination
(though usually with much larger structures than this one).

I considered recommending a binary search pattern, but the posted data
was so messy that it was hard to determine if it would have been
effective (i.e. the missing bracket may have been at the very
beginning or end, making successful bisections impossible).

Tidied up and presented as a string literal (aka JSON):

var obj =
'{' +
'   "success": true,' +
'   "cards": [' +
'       {' +
'               "message": "",' +

'               "gibs": "",' +
'               "msg": "Rahul1's Gib send you Access Card saying "' +
'       }' +
'   ]' +
' }'

Looks much smaller now.

I've left the error in there for you to find.

Turns out a binary pare-down would be effective as there is no missing
bracket. But ISTM that a decent debugger (or editor) would point out
the offensive line (if not the exact character).

Another suggestion is to keep examples as short as possible while
still illustrating the error. That will often lead you to discover the

Aw, you spoiled his bug hunt.

 

[Ry Nohryb]

(...)
Your JSON has embedded quotes, fix them (either using a regular
expression at the client or at the server before sending) before
calling eval.

That text is not valid JSON but not for the reason you state (since
when a JSON text can't contain (unescaped) quotes ? (*)), but that's
not (not being JSON) a reason for it to throw when eval'ed, because as
far as we can see -in what he's posted- it looks like a 100% valid
javascript object literal (not JSON)... unless there's a CR left in it
somewhere -which we can hardly distinguish in his post-.

(*)One thing is a JSON text, and another -different- thing is a string
literal representing an object literal text or a JSON text, which is
what you've posted, and would need to have the quotes escaped. But if
the text he is trying to eval were exactly what he's posted (and
without any CRs), it would eval OK, without any errors, because it's a
*perfectly*valid* javascript object literal (although not valid JSON).

Yes.

Nothing wring with 3, AFAIK.

(not tabs) and wrap at about 70 characters.

CAREFUL. It MUST NOT be wrapped by the posting agent, which will break
lines in inappropriate places. Better IMHO not to use the word "wrap",
and say something like "use lines of not more than about 72 characters".

Yes, and that looks like what happened in the post.
