The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you view a page containing a Liquid Motion animation, you see the following error message:

An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 14 Char: 5 Error: Expected identifier Code: 0

Note, the Line and Char numbers may be different depending on the placement of the animation on your page.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs when the name of your animation begins with a number. The JavaScript in the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) page for your animation sets a variable for the location of the media for your animation. It names that variable AnimationNameMediaDir (where AnimationName is the name of your animation). Variables beginning with a number are illegal in JavaScript.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior, you must save your animation using a different name and republish the animation. For more information about saving and publishing animations, see “Chapter 11: Publishing Animations and Previewing in a Browser” in the “User Guide” in Liquid Motion Help.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
