have code

obj.property.style.split( /\s*;\s*/ ).forEach( function(s) {...

the problem is that the */ in the pattern is serving as a comment delimiter.

for example

/* comment this out please
obj.property.style.split( /\s*;\s*/ ).forEach( function(s) {..
OOPS - NOT commented out */

what’s the customary way to quote this in regexp?

    The * qualifier is a shortcut for {0,}1 so:

    /\s*;\s{0,}/
    

    However, as this makes it slightly less-than-usual, I’d really consider just not commenting out the code with /* .. */ comments.


    1 {n,} is specified in ECMAScript 5th Edition. However, MDC only lists {n,m}.
