# Custom Code – Backslash in JavaScript code removed

 * Tried to insert JavaScript code before </head> and got a syntax error. It appears
   that a backslash in a regex was lost. For example, enter this into the ASE configuration:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <script>  var currentPagePath = window.location.pathname.replace(/\/$/, '');</script>
       ```
   
 * In the site front end, the backslash is missing, resulting in a syntax error.

 * [@rjwilt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjwilt/) Thank you for reporting
   this. You’re right. In the next release, a checkbox to disable this behaviour,
   i.e. backslash removal, will be added. Preview: [https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME1344EW ](https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME1344EW)
 * If you find ASE useful for your workflow / site(s), please kindly consider leaving
