TalkPHP - View Single Post - Getting Error: is not a function when viewed in firefox

I think it has more to do with the fact that you are using an object literal, yet are still trying to assign variables in a normal fashion.

javascript Code:

obj = {
    var test = '';
    var test2 = '';
}

is incorrect, this is the correct way and looks similar to the methods:

javascript Code:

obj = {
    test : '',
    test2 : '',
}

Basically (looking at the error from your site currently) JS is trying to interpret 'var' as a property of the object, then it will look for ':' to assign a value to it but it cant find it. Also you don't assign properties with values in that way, you assign them like functions (in theory you are with methods, assigning an anonymous function to a object property) also the comma at the end is important too.
