Using YUICompressor I get the following error from my javascript code:

    [ERROR] 270:201:missing name after . operator
    [ERROR] 292:6:missing ; before statement

Here's the javascript code at the following lines:

Line 270:

new _ow.getScript(_ow.wwwurl+'/widget/save?title='+encodeURIComponent(this.obj.title.value)+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(this.obj.url.value)+'&tags='+this.obj.tags.value+'&private='+this.obj.private.checked+'&c='+this.obj.notes.value+'&service='+services+'&token='+(_ow.token ? encodeURIComponent(_ow.token): ''), function(data) {

Line 292:

});

I can't figure out what the problem is since this Javascript code works fine on all browsers.

EDIT: I split the line in multiple lines and figured out that the "missing name after . operator" is generated by this code:

this.obj.private.checked

Is private a keyword that makes the YUI compressor go mad?

private is a reserved word.
