You cannot just include line breaks inside a string literal. You'll have to escape them using the \ backslash character.

Code:

    $("#localUpload").append('    <div class="file_input_div">\

        <input id="fileName" class="file_input_textbox" placeholder="No File Selected..." readonly="readonly" />\

        <input type="button" value="Browse..." class="file_input_button" /> \

        <input type="file" name="image_upload[]" id="file_upload" class="file_input_hidden" onchange="javascript: this.form.fileName.value=((this.value.replace(/^.*[\/\\]/g, "")).split("..",2));" />\

    </div>\

');

You are using the backslash inside a javascript string to handle regular expression escaping, but it is already used for javascript character escaping. So you will have to replace every \ backslash inside the regular expression with a double backslash \\ which will escape the backslash to be used for the regex.
