If you are getting a JavaScript error, then you need to look at the client-side generated code, not the server-side markup.

What is that line translated to by the time it reaches the browser? Is it valid JavaScript? If not, how did it get set up incorrectly?

These are the questions you should be asking yourself.

It has nothing to do with JavaScript. The JSP markup is evaluated on the server long before the JavaScript engine sees the resulting markup. The EL expression never makes it past the server.
