In this case, the OP provided an error message which showed that he 
wasn't getting a SyntaxError, so we could assume that the problem lay 
elsewhere.  It depends how much work you want to put into overlooking 
the mis-formatting of the code.

If *you* don't want to respond to any GG post, that will be fine: others 
will respond.  Even better is to respond to the posts to help the OP.
