for your js script

[ez4ne12c]

my head still hurts
heres what i got..\

thumb_url=""+readers_files.item();
thumb_url.replace(/\\/ig,'\\\\');

book_link = "\"<IMG src='"+thumb_url+"' alt='"+book_name+"' onClick='pager()'></img>\"";

alert (book_link);
//this still shows single backslashes which are stipped off by eval

eval('book'+i+'.innerHTML='+book_link+';');

really, its that bad!

Try this:
str=str.replace(/\\/g,'$&amp;$&amp;');
or this:
str=str.replace(/\\/g,'\\\\');
They both do the same thing.


I wouldn't use eval for that, by the way. Try this:
book[i].innerHTML=book_link;

yeah i get what you mean, an array would make more sense..
Thanks liorean & timur
