Question

What's wrong with this node.js/socket.io code that gives "missing name after the . operator"?

This is the line that causes trouble. It's node.js + socket.io on the backend and it shows an error in NetBeans. It sends the message from the server, but the handle comes up undefined.

io.sockets.in(socket._chatroom).emit('broadcast_message', {message: message, handle: socket._handle});

Any suggestions?

Thank you :)

Change your code so that it takes multiple lines. You'll have an easier time figuring out which . operator netbeans is talking about.
