Thanks Chris,

That extra space got rid of the error.

Greetings.

This error occurs if you’re using smarty without {literal} tag

Hi guys,

try to replace

} catch(err) {}

with

} catch(err) { }

and see what happens

Same ^^

missing { before catch block
[Break on this error] } catch(err)

In FF this new code creates an js error:
missing { before catch block
} catch(err)

Do you have any problems with it?

Just spotted this. Weird that there’s still no official mention on the Analytics blog.

It also prevents the runtime error dialog from popping in IE7.

No notice as of yet on the GA Blog. They just released enterprise-level reporting to all users, so I’m thinking they don’t want to take any attention away from this major move with such a small code tweak.
