The extra comma near the bottom:

        txtCprOnly2: {required: true,cprOnly1: true},
        txtMailOnly: {required: true,mailOnly: true}

Is it not talking about:

    }, // This comma here?
});

on the second to last line?

Answer 3

+2 A:

Remove the trailing comma - the comma at the end of the following part:

 messages: {
        txtTextOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtNumbersOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtPhoneOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtAreaCodeOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtSimCodeOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtCprOnly1: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtCprOnly2: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtMailOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"}
    },

While creating an object {} or an array [], you separate individual elements with a comma. But here there is an additional comma after the last item like [a, b, c,] - that is not allowed as per ECMA-262.

Firefox would actually give you a strict warning about this, but note that this behavior has changed in ES5. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508637 for more details.

Remove the last comma from the second last line:

$(".regflow").validate({
    errorLabelContainer: $("#error-message"),
    rules: {
        txtTextOnly: {required: true,textOnly: true},
        txtNumbersOnly: {required: true,numbersOnly: true},
        txtPhoneOnly: {required: true,phoneOnly: true},
        txtAreaCodeOnly: {required: true,numbersOnly: true},
        txtSimCodeOnly: {required: true,simCodeOnly: true},
        txtCprOnly1: {required: true,numbersOnly: true},
        txtCprOnly2: {required: true,cprOnly1: true},
        txtMailOnly: {required: true,mailOnly: true}
    },

    messages: {
        txtTextOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtNumbersOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtPhoneOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtAreaCodeOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtSimCodeOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtCprOnly1: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtCprOnly2: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"},
        txtMailOnly: {required: "Dette felt skal udfyldes"}
    }
});

Answer 5

A:

I know this was asked a while ago, but this might be helpful. If you run your JavaScript through JSLint it will tell you if there are any of these "extra commas."
