Missing : after property id syntax error

Question

I'm getting a syntax error from the code below:

(function({ 
  var resultsDIV = document.getElementById("results"),
    searchInput = document.forms[0].search,
    currentSearch = ''
  ;

I have tried all sorts of ways of writing this line but continue to get the same error.

The actual error I am getting is:

"Syntax Error: missing : after property id"

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

For me miss ; or you not declared the id in one tag.

Example:

<p id="po"></p>

After with the update's question:

(function(){

var resultsDIV = document.getElementById("results");
    searchInput = document.forms[0].search;
    currentSearch = '';
})();

Answer 2

(function({ should be (function(){.
