Need some help with jquery syntax error Visual Studio 2012

Question

I am currently making Windows 8 apps using Construct 2.  Recently, all of my apps have stopped working on Windows 8, and I get this error message related to my apps.

'WWAHost.exe' (Script): Loaded 'Script Code (MSAppHost/1.0)'. 
Exception was thrown at line 3, column 24970 in ms-appx://13023myappdevname.myappname/jquery-1.7.1.min.js
0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: SyntaxError
The program '[3140> WWAHost.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

How can I fix this error?

I am using Windows 8, and Visual Studio 2012.

Answer 1

Did you change your App name somewhere? That error seems so indicate there is some problem with the jQuery library you are loading. Is the <script> tag referencing a valid local source?.

There are some jQuery features that won't work on Win8, that is why some people made adaptations to jQuery in order to work properly with Win8: https://github.com/appendto/jquery-win8

Hi Windows8BeeKeeper,

Does the error point to any code? which line of code in the javascript throwing the error.

Sorry I haven't responded to this error guys.  I was using Construct 2 the HMTL 5 Game Engine to create Windows 8 Apps.  I'll get more information related to this error, as I will try to replicate the scenario that causes it.  Thank you.
