3,095 PointsI'm having an "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token" with the exact same code
Hello,
The function generateImage() displays an error : "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token" at line 18
and I'm unable to correct it (I'm not very familiar with ES6, I think there is a problem with concatenation but I tried many things without success).
Can you help ?
This is my code :
const select = document.getElementById('breeds'); const card = document.querySelector('.card'); const form = document.querySelector('form');
// ------------------------------------------ // FETCH FUNCTIONS // ------------------------------------------ fetch('https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random') .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => generateImage(data.message))
// ------------------------------------------ // HELPER FUNCTIONS // ------------------------------------------
function generateImage(data) { const html = ' <img src='${data}' alt> <p>Click to view images of ${select.value}</p> '; card.innerHTML = html; }
Regards,
David

This might not be helpful because I'm not sure what video or exercise you're on, you've just posted this in JavaScript general, but it looks like you're trying to use a template literal and you've confused backticks ` and single quotes '
