    alert('helllo');
    $('button.savebtn').click(function() {
        alert('testin');
        var Row1 = $(this).closest('tr').find("#mi").text();
        alert(Row1);
        var Row2 = $(this).closest('tr').find("#mn").text();

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (:875:140) at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (:808:34) at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (:664:21)

Yup within any file with a .js extension you just write javascript, HTML is allowed in there but only as a string to be appended to other elements. — SidOfc

@SidneyLiebrand: Anything is allowed inside strings. Saying "HTML is allowed" makes it look like there is somwthing special about it. — Felix Kling

I have create the different file but still the error still there: <script src="code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script> <script src = "test.js"> </script> — Dao

@dao: Seeems like you still have HTML in a JavaScript file. That's invalid. Don't do that. — Felix Kling

If you have your JS in a separate file you don't need to add <script> and </script>.

I have created the different file, but the error still appears on the same java scripts.
