    special inline characters - javascript

    Hi all,

    I have a session variable that contains the following string "europe\bmaher" , when I use an alert to display this the '\b' in the string is interpreted as a special inline char ie. backspace. I've tried using the string.replace() function to replace the \ with a \\ and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to display the string without any interpretation ??

    Thanks

    Instead of replacing "\" with "\\", try replacing "\b" with "\\b".

    I'm sure there are other ways, so check the sig.
