...and honestly I'm not sure three evenings is tracking it down so much as it is refusing to look at the obvious places first. The semicolon thing is a rite of passage, sure, but you could have saved yourself a lot of time by just reading the error message and checking the line end instead of staring at the whole thing like it was a puzzle. I once spent two hours fixing a CSS issue only to find out I'd typed "colour" instead of "color" and the browser just quietly ignored it. The dumb stuff is always the stuff you don't check because you assume you're too smart to mess it up that badly. I'd say welcome to the club, but you're probably going to do this again in six months with something even simpler.
