As Waseem points out, the error was due to "do" being a JavaScript
keyword. You don't state in which browser(s) it worked correctly, but
I would bet it was a recent version of Firefox: it will also cause an
error in Chrome, and probably in Safari and Opera too.
The reason it will work in recent builds of Firefox is that they
already incorporate some changes which are due to arrive in the
ECMAScript version 5 specification next year, which will allow such
reserved words to be used in that context.
Regards,
Nick.
