JScript provides special characters that allow you to include in strings some characters you
cannot type directly. Each of these characters begins with a backslash. The backslash is an
escape character you use to inform the JScript interpreter that the next character is special.
| Escape |
Sequence Character |
| \b |
Backspace |
| \f |
Form feed |
| \n |
Line feed (newline) |
| \r |
Carriage return |
| \t |
Horizontal tab (Ctrl-I) |
| \' |
Single quotation mark |
| \" |
Double quotation mark |
| \\ |
Backslash |
Notice that because the backslash itself is used as the escape character, you cannot directly
type one in your script. If you want to write a backslash, you must type two of them
together (\\).
document.write('The image path is C:\\webstuff\\mypage\\gifs\\garden.gif.');
document.write('The caption reads, "After the snow of \'97. Grandma\'s house is covered."');
