“Unexpected token ‘{ “ error on creating a Javascript button on Opportunity
I want to create a JS button on the Opportunity to replace the current ‘edit’ button. The button would check if some of the feilds have a value, and if so direct the user to a visualforce page, and if not then direct them to the normal edit behaviour.
After saving the button, I get a dialog error “unexpected token ‘{‘”. What am i missing? The code i am using is –IF(‘{!Account.Type}’ == “New”) && ‘{!Opportunity.Ad__c}’ == null{
window.parent.location.href = “/apex/OpportunityEditOverride?id=”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’;
}
else{
window.parent.location.href = “/”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’+”/e?retURL=%2F”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’;
} -

Hi Karen,
Your “)” is not in correct place in your first line of code. This should be as below:-
IF(‘{!Account.Type}’ == “New” && ‘{!Opportunity.Ad__c}’ == null){

If you are using the exact code you have typed earlier, then unfortunately you have made a small mistake.
You are using CAPITAL “IF”.
JavaScript is a case sensitive language and will not recognize ‘IF’ only ‘if’
Also it seems like you have closed your if statement a bit early. So here is the updated code
if(‘{!Account.Type}’ == “New” && ‘{!Opportunity.Ad__c}’ == null){
window.parent.location.href = “/apex/OpportunityEditOverride?id=”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’;
}
else{
window.parent.location.href = “/”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’+”/e?retURL=%2F”+'{!Opportunity.Id}’;
}Also in the last line, though it is not wrong, it is not really necessay to concatenate your URLs. The following line will also work fine
window.parent.location.href = “/apex/OpportunityEditOverride?id={!Opportunity.Id}”; -
Hi,
To add suggestion: Javascript is case sensitive.. So make sure the keywords you have used in the logic.
Thanks.

Hi,
By veiwing your code I found haven’t close the brackets correctly in –
IF(‘{!Account.Type}’ == “New”) && ‘{!Opportunity.Ad__c}’ == null{
Close the bracket at the end of null.
Hope this helps.
