SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<' about he HOT 9 CLOSED

I cannot reproduce the issue with the latest version from this GitHub repository. I guess your file somehow got mangled. Try getting a fresh copy.

Ok, seems I was using the wrong he.js file. I was using the one in src and not the one in the root dir. What is the difference?

Btw..... thanks for the excellent library!

from he.

The one in src contains placeholders for complex data that is generated and placed into the code at build time.

from he.

So which one should I be using? I tried the one in root but then I got..

he is not a function

My usage:

jQuery('input[name=billing_name]').val(he(name));

from he.

My bad, I see I missed using the encode part. facepalm

from he.

What are you trying to do exactly?

When using jQuery#val() there’s no need to HTML-encode first (unless you want to display the HTML-encoded value).

from he.

It's basically just a simple checkbox that populates the billing info the same as the applicant details. So I thought I would need to make sure the data pulled from the applicant data would be in entities to avoid breaking things if the values had certain characters such as backslashes.

from he.

Yeah, you don’t need he for that. Just set .val() directly.

from he.

Oh ok, thanks!
