Javascript "missing ) after argument list"

I'm trying to use this Javascriptsnippet below to display a DIVin a view Dynamically. But it gives me this error new:624 Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list for this line in the snippet $("#order_country"]).change(function() { 

window.onload = function() {
 $("#order_country"]).change(function() {
  var val = $(this).val();
  $("#country_div").toggle(val == "us");
});
});

I really can't find the missing ), could anyone take a look at this and see if they can find it.

In order to make the line appear and disappear dynamically, you'll need to use javascript:

$(function() {
  $("#id-you-give-to-country_select"]).change(function() {
    var val = $(this).val();
    $("#id-you-give-to-div").toggle(val == "us");
  });
});

One gotcha is that in your if you're comparing :country (symbol) with "US" (string), which will never succeed.

Edit

Just for testing, you can also add alert(val); right after the call to toggle, so you can see that the code is running and what the values are.

EDIT - THIS VERSION WORKS

First, the country-select has an ID generated in the html, it is #order_country

Then I had to make few adjustments to the code, below is the working version

window.onload = function() {
  $("#order_country").change(function() {
    var val = $(this).val();
    $("#country_div").toggle(val == "US");
  });
};
