I have tried for following code in javascript, but I get:

identifier starts immediately after numeric literal 

error is ing for following script, example mcnDel="016160A1"

<script>
 mcnDel="016160A1"               
 var val="<a href='javascript: void(0);' onclick='removeRow("+mcnDel+");'><img src=images/delete.png></a></a></td>"  
</script>

• javascript
• jquery
• html

• 1 Are you inserting partial HTML elements, and do you really have an anchor inside an anchor ? – adeneo Commented Aug 26, 2014 at 15:13
• 2 It is confusing why you have a </a> and </td> at the end of your string. – epascarello Commented Aug 26, 2014 at 15:21

You need to wrap the string with quotes.

onclick='removeRow("+mcnDel+");'

needs to be

onclick='removeRow(\""+mcnDel+"\");'

FYI, I got that error while trying to use BigInt() and big integer litterals (e.g. 123n on Safari for iOS.

Dont forget Javascript id cannot start with a number, make sure the value of your variable is not starting with a number.

I hope this answer maybe help another : when we want to concat or add something with a string in Js we must use single quotation. for example we have :

    alert(@ViewBag.IsSecondStepAccepted) === error :identifier starts immediately after numeric literal 

but if I use

    alert('@ViewBag.IsSecondStepAccepted')

everything is OK.

In my case problem was in numeric literal with an underscore

1_000

after removing the underscore my code started to work
