Question

I have some server information in ASP that I need to pass through AJAX. However, the server name has a back slash.

var concode = "<%response.write(concode)%>";

But when stepping through the code the server name does not have the back slash.

How do I fix it so that the back slash stays in the server name?

Answer 1

The escape character is the backslash: JavaScript Special Characters

If this is classic ASP:

var concode = "<%=Replace(concode, "\", "\\")%>";

If it’s VB.NET:

var concode = "<%=concode.Replace("\", "\\")%>";

Note: Depending on exactly how you’ve coded your page, those nested quotes may give the ASP parser fits.
