have started creating the News application as per the 'Palm WebOS' book, but after creating the data structures and attempting to run the app I am getting a blank screen.
I've attached the debugger and it is complaining of the following:
Code:
2009-07-28T13:06:30.925237Z [1670] qemux86 user.err LunaSysMgr: {LunaSysMgrJS} co.uk.ldj.news: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :, file:///var/usr/palm/applications/co.uk.ldj.news/app/assistants/stage-assistant.jsjsjs:$18$
Line 18 of the stage-assistant.jsjsjs $file$ $is$ $as$ $follows$:
Code:
Code:
feedList.push({title:"New York Times", url:"h**p://w*w.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml", type:"rss", numUnRead:0, stories:[]});
I've double checked the text with the book (and even copied and pasted what was in the PDF, but I cannot get past this error...
Hereis the full debug output:

StageAssistant.prototype.setup = function() {

Has anyone encountered this problem to know what i've not done?
Thanks
