I have following script in my page to highlight a map.

<script>
    function highlight(list,win,lose)
    {
        var WinParty = win;
        var LoseParty = lose;

        var jsVariable = list;

        var area = document.getElementsByTagName('area')
        var ary=[]
        for (var zxc0=0;zxc0<area.length;zxc0++){
            ary.push(area);
           }

        var isfound = false;

        for(var i = 0; i < area.length; i++)
        {
            isfound = false;

            for(var j = 0; j < jsVariable.length; j++)
            {
                if (area[i].getAttribute('title').trim() == jsVariable[j].trim())
                {
                    isfound = true;
                    $(area[i]).each(function ()//get all areas
                    {
                        $(this).addClass("victory");
                    });
                }
            }
            if(!isfound)
            {
                $(area[i]).each(function ()//get all areas
                {
                    $(this).addClass("lose");
                });
            }
        }

        $(function () {
            var data = {};
            $('.map').maphilight();
            data.alwaysOn = true;
            data.fillColor = WinParty;
            $('.victory').data('maphilight', data).trigger('alwaysOn.maphilight');


            var data = {};
            $('.map').maphilight();
            data.alwaysOn = true;
            data.fillColor = LoseParty;
            $('.lose').data('maphilight', data).trigger('alwaysOn.maphilight');
        });
    }
</script>

I am calling this script from Code Behind (VB.Net) as follows

Dim Serializer = New System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer()
Dim List = Serializer.Serialize(Values)
WinPartyColor = Hex(Color.Blue.ToArgb()).Substring(2)
LosePartyColor = Hex(Color.Red.ToArgb()).Substring(2)

Dim Script As String = String.Format("highlight({0},{1},{2});", List, WinPartyColor, LosePartyColor)

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(ElectionResultUpdatePanel, ElectionResultUpdatePanel.GetType(), "HighLighting", Script, True)

When i'm running above code in Chrome i'm getting error as

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

but when i run same code in IE, getting error as

SCRIPT1007: Expected ']'.

My guess is about List argument, which is array in Javascript.

Please help me out.
