In my project I am using the Prototype JavaScript Framework 1.7.1



When I load the web page in IE10 on Windows 7 I get the error message below:
SCRIPT1010: Expected identifier line 1 character 9 which points to <!DOCTYPE html> in my test HTML page below:



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My webpage title</title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8/>
<meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=edge />
<meta name=description content= />
<meta name=keywords content= />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.1.0/prototype.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
just testing
</body>
</html>

Does anyone know what is causing this error or is this a bug in Prototype 1.7.1?

See this pull request on Github https://github.com/sstephenson/prototype/pull/93



PrototypeJS does some feature detection everytime it loads and Internet Explorer 10 has adjusted the way some of the Javascript syntax is parsed and throws that error.



PrototypeJS is doing a detection to see how to handle passing functions as tag attributes (like an onclick method) and the IE10 javascript parser detects that as a syntax error.



If you look at the pull request in Github it will show you a band-aid as well as a full fix to make Internet Explorer 10 happy.



Please spread the word.



2013-05-17 UPDATE The pull request referenced has been closed and a fix has been integrated into the the master branch of the PrototypeJS github



https://github.com/sstephenson/prototype



Please clone from there and update your scripts.



2014-05-01 UPDATE The fix for this has been released in PrototypeJS 1.7.2
