Can't make multiple if conditions in JavaScript?

Question

I have absolutely no idea why this is not working. Makes no sense to me.

This returns a \"syntax error: parse error\":

if ($(this).attr(\"id\") === \'se         


        

Answer 1

You have an error in your condition

if ($(this).attr("id") === 'search' || opening = true) return false;

should be

if ($(this).attr("id") === 'search' || opening == true) return false;

the problem is with the equals sign

= is different to ==

the first one is the assignment operator. the second one is for comparison
