In JS, the \ is the escape character, so (i think) if you just do some sort of replace
to double-up all the slashes so it comes out in the js code as:
\\\\somemachine\\somedir\\some.exe
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/22/02 09:28AM >>>
I have a page that populates a combo box via javascript. The data that is
returned from a query is (quotes included) "\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe".
The Javascript sets the value via the code new
Option('"\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe"','"\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe"'
) (that's the double quotes within single quotes if it's not too clear).
The problem is, it translates out to \somemachine
omedirsome.exe
(the somedirectory begins with a t, so I'm thinking that it's translating it
to a tab character). When I pass the selection to another page, it passes
the tab and the formatting as translated, what I need is for the slashes and
characters to be passed as that are in the DB.
Is there anything I can do with regex or something to keep the slashes the
way they are? Kind of like PreserveSingleQuotes.
TIA,
