Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token

Question

I have code like this:

$(function(){ $('.plus').click(function(){ var url = "/accounts/profile/update_thing/" + $(this).parent().attr('id') + "/", $.getJSON(url, function(data){ var items = [] $.each(data, function(key, val) { items.push('<li id="' + key + '">' + val + '</li>'); }); $('<ul/>', { 'class': 'my-new-list', html: items.join('') }).appendTo('body'); }); }) })

And Chrome code spectrator saying that i have Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token . in line 4. But I don't know why. Does someone knows what is about?

Ps. Is it normal that I haven't text editor on this site?

I suggest commenting out portions of code until you don't see the SyntaxError anymore; its as simple as process of elimination. — meder omuraliev

No, it'is not normal. You can indent your code manually with four spaces at the start of a line. You seem to have managed formatting properly in your previous questions (though please stop writing tags in your titles!) — Lightness Races in Orbit

var url = "/accounts/profile/update_thing/" + $(this).parent().attr('id') + "/", $.getJSON(url, function(data){

...is clearly wrong. Did you mean ; on the first line?

If you indent your code properly then mistakes will be easier to spot.

When I remove comma error disappear, but now i just getting "Error in event handler for 'undefined': TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined". Could it be because of I don't have DOM elements specified in my jQuery code?

@Cris: This is a separate issue. I don't know what line you're getting that error on, but I do notice that you never check the validity of data. Perhaps you can abstract out the AJAX request and demonstrate the issue in jsfiddle.
