I'm trying to put all my scripts into one script file, but when i put jquery in nothing will work because of a syntax error in the minified version. Starting on line 69 there's a quotation mark missing somewhere causing it to not close which in return messes up my comments and scripts below jquery. The uncompressed version doesn't have this error, and i would use it in the file instead except that its over 6000 lines, and makes the filesize large.

Which version of jQuery? Where are you getting it? Is this the official minified version or one that you minified yourself? You can get the most recent minified version here:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js

That one has no syntax errors.

If you still see an error, try including just the minified jQuery and see if it still reports the error. If not, start adding the other scripts one by one until the error occurs.

That's the same file that I'm already using, with the problem.

Here's a screenshot of what my script file looks like with the minified version; the minified version is the text at top.

Here's a screenshot with the uncompressed version.

Cycle isn't working with the minified version there. I'm assuming from that problem.

I can't really tell anything from those screenshots. Strange that you're getting an error. Are you seeing an error on this page?
http://test.learningjquery.com/jquery-and-cycle.html

I just grabbed the latest minified jQuery and minified Cycle and threw my one-liner in there. I'm not seeing errors.

I am getting the same error.

I have had no problems using the minified version of jQuery 1.42

But with 1.51, the minified version fails to load. When I debug in safari, i see an error "Syntax Error: Parse Error" pointing at jQuery.

If I use the full, non-minified jQuery 1.51 it works fine. However this is for a mobile web application and there is no way I can spare the extra 150k of the non-minified version.

UPDATE:

I have confirmed that all minified versions from 1.43 onwards cause the Syntax Error in my browsers (safari osx, firefox osx). 1.42 minified works just fine. This implies that whatever changed in 1.43 introduced the potential for this error. I am pulling these versions from the jquery site.

Note also that I am combining all my JS files into one file, because this is a mobile web app and file count must be at an absolute minimum. But jQuery is at the top of the file.

If someone at jQuery wants to look into this, and see the error for yourself, please contact me directly and i can supply you with the url and account info to see it break.
