[jQuery] Why am I getting the error "missing ) after argument list" with this code?

Here’s the code:

 

beforeSend:  function() {

 

                  if    (   $('input[name='authorization']:checked').val() == 0        )

                        {   $('#agree').fadeIn(500);

                            return false;                                              }

 

                  else  {   $('#rentalAppLoader, #rentalAppProcessing').fadeIn(500);   }

                                                                                               

             },

 

and the error message is referencing the “if  (  $(‘input…” line.

 

It must be a syntax error, but I can’t see it.

And, btw, is the use of “return false” like that in the “if” portion an appropriate

way to stop an ajax function if a value isn’t what I want it to be?  (In this case,

“authorization” needs to be equal to 1 for the ajax function to proceed.

 

Thanks for any feedback.

 

Rick
