Unexpected token ILLEGAL in webkit

``` // if the box is outside the window, move it to the end function checkEdge() { var windowsLeftEdge = $('#window').position().left; $('.box').each( function(i, box) { // right edge of the sliding box var boxRightEdge = $(box).position().left + $(box).width(); // position of last box + width + 10px var newPosition = getNewPosition(); if ( parseFloat(boxRightEdge) < parseFloat(windowsLeftEdge) ) { $(box).css('left', newPosition); $(box).remove().appendTo('#window'); first = $('.box:first').attr('class'); } }); }​ //Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL Occurs Here // arrange the boxes to be aligned in a row function arrangeBoxes() { $('.box').each( function(i, item) { var position = $('#window').position().left + i * ( $(item).width()); $(item).css('left', position+'px') }); } // shifts all the boxes to the left, then checks if any left the window function shiftLeft() { $('.box').animate({'left' : "-=100px"}, 5000, 'linear', checkEdge()); } // returns the new location for the box that exited the window function getNewPosition() { return $('.box:last').position().left + $('.box:last').outerWidth(); } $(window).load(function() { arrangeBoxes(); shiftLeft(); setInterval('shiftLeft()', 5000); $('#gallery-slideshow').nivoSlider({ effect:'fade', //Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown' slices:15, animSpeed:500, //Slide transition speed pauseTime:3000, startSlide:0, //Set starting Slide (0 index) directionNav:true, //Next & Prev directionNavHide:true, //Only show on hover controlNav:false, //1,2,3... keyboardNav:false, //Use left & right arrows pauseOnHover:false, //Stop animation while hovering manualAdvance:false, //Force manual transitions captionOpacity:0, //Universal caption opacity beforeChange: function(){}, afterChange: function(){}, slideshowEnd: function(){}, //Triggers after all slides have been shown lastSlide: function(){}, //Triggers when last slide is shown afterLoad: function(){} //Triggers when slider has loaded }); }); $(document).ready(function(){ $('.class-table tr').click(function(){ window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false; }); $('.special-workshop').click(function(){ window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false; }); }); ``` I am getting an Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL on the line mentioned above. It occurs only in Google Chrome and Safari. It works in Firefox and the same code works on this JSBin (http://jsbin.com/uceqi/18) What is going on? There are numerous references to this problem on Stackoverflow but none of them seem to apply to this situation. If it helps JSLint also throws and error on that line character 2 "Problem at line 22 character 2: Unexpected '​'."
