This SO post explains how to include JavaScript specific to a page.



However, this method is causing this error in charges.js at line 1: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <



In the Chrome console, the doctype declaration is highlighted as having the error.



The simplified view is below. The JavaScript file in question is empty.



Why is this happening?



<% content_for :javascript_includes do %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "charges.js" %>
<% end %>

<style>
#pageBox {
width: 600px;
margin: 60px auto;
}

.header {
text-align: center
}

.content {
margin-top: 50px;
}
</style>

</div>

  • I'll go out on a limb and say that the browser tries to load charges.js but the server returns a 404 html page. The browser, expecting JS code, finds a < instead.
