Firebug is reporting a return not in function error with no location (well, line 1 of nothing). How can I track down the source of this error?
return not in function
[Break on this error] return(0)
javascript:return... (line 1)
I'm running FireBug 1.05 on FF 2.0.0.20 on Ubuntu.
I found a solution that works (for this configuration):
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href='/';
if (childSummary.more) {
link.onclick = capture(function(id) { follow(id); }, childSummary.id);
} else {
link.onclick = capture(function(id) { show(id); }, childSummary.id);
}
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode(name));
div.appendChild(link);
[...]
function capture(fn, val) {
return function() { fn(val); return false; };
}
The code was in a loop in which the id was changing, necessitating the capture function.
Formerly the href was 'javascript: return 0' and the capture function wasn't returning false directly, instead using the result of the fn, and there was a path when it was returning the equivalent of true. The href was being evaluated causing the error.
Defining href as '#' or '' caused all the links to appear as already visited. Not defining href at all caused there to be no link highlighting. This seemed simplest.
