Which happens to be one of my biggest peeves... Like the guys who say
that javascript is "technically correct" when you ask it to perform 10/1
or some similar division and it spits back a number with a long decimal
value. It's "technically correct!" -- forget that it's basically useless...

Yeah, what Cooper talks about in Inmates.

That's what I did. I wrapped jsstringformat with a replace of "/" so
that they're all preceded by the \ escape character -- which is proper
escaping in javascript, so it solves the problem, always works, and
never causes any new problems. I do think it escapes more characters
than SerializeJSON does tho -- I haven't looked specifically, but for
example if there's an http url in it, it turns it into http:\/\/ which I
don't think SerializeJSON does... but that's fine since the it doesn't
hurt anything to escape those characters... I suspect there's a PHP
function that does it that way too, because I remember seeing some url's
in some javascript created by PHP that looked like that a while back.
