Firebug doesn’t display my javascript? can't find the error

firebug, javascript, jquery

Solution

You must leave out the last parenthesis, I guess the code should run on dom ready?

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
/* fix: “close” the value of i inside createFunction, so it won't change */
        var createFunction = function(i) {
            return function() { alert(i); };
        };

        for (var i=0; i<5; i++) {
            $('<p>').appendTo('body').on("click", createFunction(i));
}

});
</script>

See here for how to make code running on dom load with jquery.

Problem

well I want to debug some script with Firebug, (cause I can't see anything in the browser window) but when I click the script tab in Firefox it gives me the error message: If tags have a "type" attribute, it should equal "text/javascript" or "application/javascript". Also scripts must be parsable (syntactically correct). What am I doing wrong? Here's my code: ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <script src="jquery-1.7.1.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { /* fix: “close” the value of i inside createFunction, so it won't change */ var createFunction = function(i) { return function() { alert(i); }; }; for (var i=0; i<5; i++) { $('p').appendTo('body').on("click", createFunction(i)); } })(); </script> </body> </html> ```
