    Using a \ in ()

    I have script that uses () and I need to put a \ in it. Since \ is normally used to allow special characters like that and when doubled it means a comment line, I'm having some trouble.
    I've tried
    Code:
    group('1','../../../music[B]\[/B]song.wav'), 
group('1','../../../music[B]\\[/B]song.wav'), and
group('1','../../../music[B]/[/B]song.wav')
    with no success.

    So, how can you use a backslash like that?
    Oh, was I supposed to put something here? ........

        Your second example should work by escaping the reserved character.

        eg:
        Code:
        <script type="text/javascript">
var group = new Array()
group[0]=new Array('1','..\\..\\..\\music\\song.wav')
alert(group[0][1])
</script>

            You're looking at the wrong thing for the problem as the code below will demonstrate:

            Code:
            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Testing</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
			alert('../../../music\\song.wav')
		</script>
	</body>
</html>
            Edit-------------

            As a thought, with that out of place backslash it looks like you're feeding information back to the host. Have you though about using '../../../music\\\\song.wav' in case the host is also swallowing a pair of backslashes?

              I assumed the O/P was trying to link to sound files on his/her hard drive. If the files are on a server. Why is there a backslash even in the file name?

              ../../../music\\song.wav ?????

                BTW, it was on my harddrive for temporary use until I find a server.
