Chapter 1 Understanding Syntax Errors

While working on my JavaScript project, I encountered the following error:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [value=]

This error typically indicates that there is an empty 'value' attribute somewhere in the code, which can seem trivial but can disrupt the entire script. Here’s the code snippet I was dealing with:

var tyArea = $("#ty_area");

var areaHtml = "";

var tyCode = result.detailInfo.tyCode == null ? "" : result.detailInfo.tyCode;

var tyNm = result.detailInfo.tyNm == null ? "" : result.detailInfo.tyNm;

if(result.detailInfo.sttNo != "" && result.detailInfo.sttNo != null){

areaHtml += '<option value="">Select</option>';

areaHtml += '<option value="mine1">mine1</option>';

areaHtml += '<option value="mine2">mine2</option>';

areaHtml += '<option value="mine3">mine3</option>';

areaHtml += '<option value="mine4">mine4</option>';

areaHtml += '<option value="mine5">mine5</option>';

areaHtml += '</select>';

tyArea.append(areaHtml);

$("#tyCode [value="+tyCode+"]").prop("selected", true);

}

The source of my problem was the inconsistent use of single and double quotes. To resolve the issue, I ensured that my quote style was uniform throughout the code.
