Javascript removing slashes in variable

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 05.2010

Hi,
I am using IE8 browse. In javascript I am assigning variable filepath.
<%
String filepathXml=”C:/abc/work/work.xml”;
%>
var filepath= ‘<%=filepathXml%>’;

Here in filpath, it removes all slashes and display as
C:abcworkwork.xml

I tired by changing forward slash to backward slash in java variable. But, output is same.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Sumeet

I am using IE8 browse. In javascript I am assigning variable filepath.

<%

String filepathXml="C:/abc/work/work.xml";

%>

var filepath= '<%=filepathXml%>';

Here in filpath, it removes all slashes and display as

C:abcworkwork.xml

In view source, it is showing correct. It is showing with slashes. Here, I forgot to mention, I am assigning java file with that path to javascript variable, like :

var filepath= '<%=new File(filepathXml)%>';

But this is not file uploading by user. This is just modified xml file.

Thanks,

Sumeet

@A1ien51Mar 05.2010 — I just wanted to know this:

When you view the page source and do you see

var filepath= 'C:abcworkwork.xml';

or

var filepath= 'C:/abc/work/work.xml';

I am guessing you see the first, which means the problem is with your serverside code and not the clientside.

'C:/abc/work/work.xml';

Here is important to note:

It give correct path if java string variable is assigned.

But, if it is : new File(java variable),

then I am checking in alert, it is removing all slashes.

Thanks,
