Strange JQuery error

Question

Please take a look at my website and open browser console for error check: http://mayy.in/stp.html

I am looking at it in Chrome console and its giving me error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

on line 44

What could be the problem? Its a very simple piece of code like this:

$('div').each("click", function() {

$(this).remove();
});

Can someone pleasse explain to me why people are clickin the close button — Youss, Dec 29 '12 at 14:17
Because this is a duplicate. Read the other question. Even if it weren't a duplicate, the moment you fix the web page the question becomes meaningless so it's too localized. — JJJ, Dec 29 '12 at 14:18
Also, in addition to the other answers, you will need to place your code in `.ready()` for this to work correctly. — Lee Taylor, Dec 29 '12 at 14:19
@Juhana is right in this question is a duplicate, just replace $(this).remove; and the following line to get rid of the invisible characters. — Jeff Steil, Dec 29 '12 at 14:20
Paste your js into http://jsbin.com/, you'll see the invisible characters show up as red dots. — Jeff Steil, Dec 29 '12 at 14:27

I don't think your code is correct. You can bind event on all element without iterating. through each.

I debugged your code and found there are some special characters in your code enter image description here

I was able to run code after Removing ';' .

$('div').click( function() {

$(this).remove();
});

OR

$('div').on('click', function() {

$(this).remove();
});

That's irrelevant at this stage, OP sees syntax error. – Ja͢ck Dec 29 '12 at 14:16
Still giving me the same error... – Youss Dec 29 '12 at 14:17
@Jack, I mentioned the reason of error. – Anoop Dec 29 '12 at 17:19
