Slashes in value for input (FF)

[PsychodelEKS]

I've faced a problem recently, in my web app, I have a number of hidden inputs on the page to store (when generated on server) values for latter usage (on client size), one of them is:

<input name="my_id" type="hidden" value="part_one\\part_two">

In Opera and IE (wow), it works great and I successfelly recieve "part_one\\part _two" when calling:

window.alert(document.getElementById('my_id').value);

but in FF I get only "part_two"? any suggestions? (Except for pre-replaceing \\ to smth else before setting it as a value :) )
Is that my bug or their?

Hi PsychodelEKS welcome to TSDN,

i created a test page with that code and tested it on firefox 2.0.0.6 and ie7, and it is working fine.

when in your code are u calling getElementById? cuz if u do it too early it doesn't work...

after looking closer i see an error, your input has no id attribute, should be

[html]
]<input id="my_id" name="my_id" type="hidden" value="part_one \\part_two">
[/html]

in order to get it to work with the javascript

good luck

OMG, much thanks, epots9, I should work less and sleep more =) I was confused by the fact it worked in Opera and IE as expected.
