JScript syntax errors result when the structure of JScript statements violates one or more of the grammatical rules of the JScript scripting language. JScript syntax errors occur during the program compilation stage before the program starts execution.

Getting Help about Error Messages

There are several ways to get help for a particular error message:

Look for the error number and message in the table of contents contained in the JScript Syntax Errors node.
Type the error number in the Look for box in the Index. The error number is in the format JSxxxx, where xxxx is the four-digit error code.
Type the error message in the Look for box in the Search. Remember that some error messages include words in single quotes. The quoted words refer to identifiers from your code and are not part of the error message. You should not include the quoted words as part of your search.
