  • Strings in javascript need to be quoted, ie "some string", if your $character['addresses'][$i] is a string you didn't quote it Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 0:01

    The href= is missing the terminating double-quote character. Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 0:02
  • If I quote the string I get a parse error. Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 0:07
  • Show the rendered output that will give you more clues on what is going on. You have to do both corrections, use the end quote for the href="..." and quote the php output Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 0:17

You aren't closing your href property. Just add the closing double-quotes after your javascript parentheses. See the code below:

<a href="javascript:fin(<?php echo $character['addresses'][$i]; ?>)" style="width:100%; height:100%;">

Very strange, but an error within my javascript function cause the issue. I made a typo on a window.close call, I had put window..close by mistake.

Not sure why this would cause this error however I am also assuming that not closing the a href tag correctly would have caused a further error after correcting my double ..

Thanks for your help guys.
