ie8 Expected Identifier error - Angular

Question

My app is running in almost all browsers but when I use ie8 Expected Identifier happened.

 $scope.delete = function (index) {

        $scope.recipelists.splice(index, 1);

        localStorage.setItem('markedRecipes', JSON.stringify($scope.recipelists))

        if ($scope.recipelists == 0) {
            $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
        }
}

this is where ie8's console direct me when the error shows.

I don't know what's wrong with this.

Thanks!

@qamar: Either way, that would throw a reference error, not a *syntax* error. — Felix Kling, Jan 21 '15 at 05:59
Check if any of these is a possibility, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2149762/possible-cases-for-javascript-error-expected-identifier-string-or-number — Janaki Sathiyamurthy, Jan 21 '15 at 06:00
delete is a keyword in javascript so it may cause problem also as pankaj said .splice can also cause problem. not sure will need to check. — chandings, Jan 21 '15 at 06:12

IE8 doesn't support reserved words as literal object properties. Use

$scope['delete']

instead.

If you have a decent syntax highlighter installed you can normally catch these errors. Somehow $scope.case when past me.. thanks for the tip! – sidonaldson Jul 08 '15 at 10:58

As per my understanding IE8 give storage to only valid domains. Try placing your example in some Web-server it should resolve the issue.

I faced the same issue when I tested it as an individual file but when i placed it in a server(Tomcat in my case) it just worked fine.
