hiding a div in response to data within XML node

I am trying to hide a div or id if the returned xml file has no data within a specific node. I am working with jQuery 1.4.2 and a jq plug-in jqGrid. The grid goes out and gets a static xml file. Then upon the user selecting a row, it appends data within that master node to specific divs and/or id(s). I am having issues with a if/else statement (pure JS) that is supposed to evaluate a targeted xml node and respond accordingly. If there is data within a specific node, the html div or id is "show" (default setting). If there is NO data within that xml node, I need to "hide" that html div/id. In my code below, firefox says I have a syntax error. I just don’t see it. Also, I can not get it to act accordingly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

onSelectRow: function() {
    var gsr = $('#searchResults').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
                                if (gsr) {
                                        var data = $('#searchResults').jqGrid('getRowData', gsr);
                                        $('#dodic').append('DODIC:  ' + data.dodic);
                                        $('#title').append('Nomenclature:  ' + data.nomenclature);
                                        $('#purpose').append('Use:  ' + data.purpose);
                                        $('#description').append('Description:  ' + data.description);
                                       
                                        function() {if (data.olValue.length >= 1) {$('#objLength').append('Length:  ' + data.olValue + ' ' + data.olUnit);} else {$('#objLength').hide();}};
                                        $('#basicMun #objWidth').append('Width:  ' + data.owValue + ' ' + data.owUnit);


It is that function call that is the problem.
