Template-Invalid CFML construct found

Hi All, I am using the following code in cfif. <cfif not  IsDefined("cookie.savePassword")>   <script>     $(document).ready(function() {     $('.clean').focusin(function() {         var val= $(this).attr('value');                                 if( $(this).val()=='Your email' ){         $(this).attr('value','');}     });     $('#formLogin').submit(function(event) {                   var check=true;                   $('.clean').each(function() {                         if( $(this).val()=='' || $(this).val()=='Your email' ){check=false;}                       });                    if(check==false){                    alert("Please check your e-mail and password.");                    event.preventDefault();                    }                    });          });     </script> </cfif> I am getting the error:Template-Invalid CFML construct found at the following line $('#formLogin').submit(function(event) { error description is:Your expression might be missing an ending "#" (it might look like #expr ). Anyone help me on this?

Remember that CF treats # as a variable marker: <cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput> So if you want a # by itself, you 'escape' it by doubling it: ## Example: $('##formLogin').submit(function(event) { This only matters inside a cfoutput of course. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
