First off, let me say that I am not a developer, nor do I really code beyond basic HTML. So I appreciate your patience. :)
I'm working with a script that is for AdWords, but I believe it's more or less written in Javascript. (I've included the script below.)
Basically, I'm receiving the error message 'Parsing Error: Please check your selector. (line XX)' when I preview the script.
I've searched all around for hours and have yet to find a solution.
I think it may be that a query being returned contains either a single or double quote, and may be messing up the code? Though I can't actually prove that.
Also, yes, I was sure to update lines 17-21 with the correct details.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks! John
