No idea what you are talking about.

May i know wat the meaning for the "" in javascript?

The backslash '\' is normally used to write a String on multiple lines:

Code: Select all

alert('this will work');

Code: Select all

alert('this will
NOT work');

Code: Select all

alert('this however \
will work again');

hello leonard
I had try the solution you give me. The \ actually is like a space that can separate two sentences. My question is when i onclick the data which is A004\592. The data will auto change to A004|592 when this data pass through javascript. May I know what the problem I facing now?

The description of your problem is too vague.

Please post the code here or give us a link to your problem.

errr. The data i retrieve from database is A004\592. When i choose this data from the table. the data appear as A004|592 . thus my another related become undefined value. Because ' \ ' have a meaning in javascript. my data become undefined value. If i change the data as A004/592 then the data is normal. Sorry i don have image for u.

the most easy solution would probably be:
modify your database select-statement so that you replace '\' with '\\'

Your data will then be 'A004\\592' and will be displayed as 'A004\592'

the escape codes for a String in JavaScript are:

\b Backspace
\& Ampersand
\f Formfeed
\n New Line
\r Carriage Return
\t Tabulator
\' single quote
\" double quote
\\ Backslash

aparently \5 is somehow substituted by |

Your data will then be 'A004\\592' and will be displayed as 'A004\592'

I already try this method. But still facing the same error.

Anyways thanks. I still looking for solution.
