Why doesn't my javaScript work when I echo it out in php?

Question

I have a test file and when I run this script all I see is a blank page. I'm supposed to see a red banner that slides down from the top and says "there was an error". I've already tried echoing each line. I still have the same problem. What am I doing wrong?

<?php
echo '<script language="javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){

   $(this).notifyMe(
      "top", 
      "error",
      "", // Title
      "there was an error", 
      300; 
      3000; 
   );

 });
 </script>';

?>

Answer 1

Remove ; inside notifyMe()

$(this).notifyMe(
  "top", 
  "error",
  "", // Title
  "there was an error", 
  300,
  3000 );

Answer 2

<?php
echo '<script language="javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){

   $(this).notifyMe(
  "top", 
  "error",
  "", // Title
  "there was an error", 
  300, 
  3000
   );

 });
 </script>';

?>
