Uncaught ReferenceError: categoryID is not defined error

The code below throws Uncaught ReferenceError: categoryID is not defined error, what is wrong with it?

function selectCategory(obj) {
    var categoryId;
    categoryId=obj.getAttribute("data-category-id");
    if ((document.getElementById("sCategory").value) != categoryID)
    {
        document.getElementById("sCategory").value = categoryID;
        $.fancybox.close(".category-selection-fancybox-popup");
        $.cookie("categoryId", categoryID, { expires : 360 });
        $('.search').submit();
    } else {
        $.fancybox.close(".category-selection-fancybox-popup");            
    }
}

Variables are case sensitive in javascript. In fact JavaScript is a case-sensitive language completely. You have declared your variable like var categoryId; and in your if condition you are using Capital D at end of variable name -> != categoryID and in $.cookie("categoryId", categoryID as well.

JavaScript is a case-sensitive language. And so the likely cause is that you are referring to categoryId as categoryID on the following lines;

document.getElementById("sCategory").value = categoryID;
$.cookie("categoryId", categoryID, { expires : 360 });
