SCRIPT1028: Expected identifier, string or number

if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
       jQuery('#pworld,#pauto,#psubmit').attr({
       href: 'mailto:[email protected]?subject=test',
       class: 'pullup'
  });
  };

The above code seems to work fine but I get an error on IE8 on the line class: 'pullup'

SCRIPT1028: Expected identifier, string or number

Why is that?

You can't use class as a property name in an object literal without quoting it.

"class": 'pullup'

should work. In one of his essays (or whatever they are) Crockford explains that this restriction is not necessary for syntactic disambiguation, but the rule's there anyway.
