Can I create an array like this in Javascript?

Question

var row = [ [{text: [“##”]},{text: [“  ”]}], [{text: [“  ”]},{text: [“##”]}] ];

The editor showed an error:

"SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"

What's wrong? Why can't I create an array like this?

replace “ with " (double quotes)

this is correct version of your array

var a = [ [{text: ["##"]},{text: ["  "]}], [{text: ["  "]},{text: ["##"]}] ]

@Sotra don't worry, it happens. Try jslint.com in future, it will help.

WOW THANKS for letting know about that!

Or use a plain text editor that uses the correct quote character. ;-)
