ive got these lines in my script and IE generates the 'Expected hexadecimal digit' error:
str += '<NOBR> User name:\n';
str += "<>"\'&\\user\n"; // <>"'&\user
But when the username has no word 'user' at the end, it's ok:
str += '<NOBR> User name:\n';
str += "<>"\'&\\\n"; // <>"'&\
it's weird! anyone knows the cause? :confused:

Escape something (I'd guess).

thanks adios!
i followed the link, and in the Note section it says:
Note If you want to use the literal text \u in a string, then use two backslashes - (\\u) - one to escape the first backslash.
I already did it, didn't I?
str += "<>"'&\\user\n";
adios

...not following your use of quotes here:
str += "<>"'&\\\n"; :confused:

ok here it is again, sorry for the wrong posts earlier.
i was confused with all the special chars :D
str += "<>"\'&\\user\n";
this forum escapes the entities i typed;
here it is again, hope it's now correct...
str += "&lt;&gt;&quot;\'&amp;\\user\n";
adios

I recently sweated over some string-wrangling regex code and the escaping issue nearly did me in (\\\\\\/ - does that fly?). How 'bout....
str += '<>"\'&\\user\n';
Just getting vBulletin to render this stuff is a challenge...
why don't I just give you my phone number & you can describe it to me....
[yetanotheredit]document.wrote that string and - it's fine! No errors...[yetanotheredit]

i took the screenshot of the lines, it's difficult to getting vBullettin to render the correct code (sigh!).
I cannot immediately changed the string value because it is generated on the server-side (the code is in C), only the string delimeter. I changed it to single quote but still the same error occurs.

i have fixed the problem, i didn't realize there are other lines that had the \u which caused the error.
thanks adios for the time and for reminding me that there is such an error in IE.
