//return false;

Check your JS for invalid embedded characters like nulls, that may get stripped off by JSfiddle. — Ruan Mendes, Oct 01 '12 at 19:53

You probably have embedded illegal characters. Look in your JS with a hex editor and look for any characters that aren't visible ASCII characters. They may be getting stripped off by JSfiddle

Thanks, removed the last line and retyped it and no more error. Now I got to figure out why it is not working now... – Nadim Dayoub Oct 01 '12 at 20:14
