jQuery missing ) after argument list, but the ( ) and closed and escaping quotes doesn't work-CodePudding

This has got to be simple. Why am I getting the error missing ) after argument list on this jQuery? All the ( and ) are closed. I tried escaping the quotes, too.

$(".state-button").on("click", function(e) {
if ($(".record.state:contains("AR")").length > 0) {   //Error on this line
      $(".record").toggleClass("display-block");
      e.preventDefault();
    });
}

CodePudding user response：

This is proper

 $(".state-button").on("click", function(e) {
      if ($(".record.state:contains('AR')").length > 0) {
           $(".record").toggleClass("display-block");
           e.preventDefault();
      }
 }); <-- here

CodePudding user response：

Some syntax error. try this

$(".state-button").on("click", function(e) {
if ($(".record.state:contains('AR')").length > 0) { // here changed "AR" -> 'AR'   
      $(".record").toggleClass("display-block");
      e.preventDefault();
    };

}) // ')' should be added here
