Error in Javascript code?

Question

What is wrong in this code? it shows an Syntax error in eval(e.text); //run the script

  runScripts1: function(e) {
        if (e.nodeType != 1) return false; //if it's not an element node, return

        if (e.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'script') {
            eval(e.text); //run the script
        }
        else {
            var n = e.firstChild;
            while ( n ) {
                if ( n.nodeType == 1 ) forrester.runScripts1(n); //if it's an element node, recurse
                n = n.nextSibling;
            }
        }
        return true;
    },

Thanks

What is the value of e.text? Either debug the code or show it with alert or Console.write and post here. — user447356

You should mention this in the question, we can't guess such thing. — user447356

It seems likely that the syntax error is inside the e.text -- that the script tag you're manually evaluating itself has an error.
