I was inspecting this site in firebug. Inside the third <script/> tag in the head section of the page , I found an object variable declared in the following way ( truncated here however by me) :

var EM={
"ajaxurl":"http:\/\/ipsos.com.au\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php",

"bookingajaxurl":"http:\/\/ipsos.com.au\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php",

"locationajaxurl":"http:\/\/ipsos.com.au\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=locations_search",

"firstDay":"1","locale":"en"};

The utility of the variable is unknown to me. What struck me is the 3 urls presented there. Why are the backward slashes present there? Couldn’t it be something like :

“ajaxurl” : “http://ipsos.com.au/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php“

?

    In a script element there are various character sequences (depending on the version of HTML) that will terminate the element. </script> will always do this.

    <\/script> will not.

    Escaping / characters will not change the meaning of the JS, but will prevent any such HTML from ending the script.
