 * Hi, I’m a newbie and I need some help here.
    I tried to put a link to a javascript
   in my post. But somehow, the backslashes were always removed. I’ve already turned
   of the XHTML auto-correct option. Can any kind soul tell me what is wrong? Thanks.

 * Hi Moxie, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, for me, the solution doesn’t 
   work. I managed to get around it by adding one more backslash in front of the
   existing one (i.e. \\), and it worked – only ONE of the double backslash is stripped.
   Which means that if I edit and re-publish the post, I’ve got to remember to add
   the blackslashes back.

 * Did you look at that answer with the ‘strip_tags’ thing? Normally the double \\
   means backslashing the backslash, which also works within php-code if you want
   to add a ” somewhere withing the code. Then you backslash the ” => \”
    So it 
   all seems to work like it should be… within coding that is (javascript or php)
