As we've been trying to tell you. Use the techniques posted to modify
the string after you get it from the database but before you echo it to
the screen for your javascript.
You don't have to double the backslashes in the database - in fact, you
shouldn't. Just try it - and if it doesn't work, post the exact PHP
code you're using with one of the suggestions installed.
Personally I like the str_replace version. It only works with one
string at a time while gosha's can replace multiple string. But mine
is faster when dealing with a single string.
