I'm using ajax to grab a URL. The problem is the URL has slashes in it and when the JQuery load takes place afterwords it will not load the page.
AJAX success bit:
success: function(data) {
$('#OPTcontentpanel').load(data.OPTpermalink);
PHP
echo json_encode( array('OPTpermalink'=>$OPTpermalink,));
AND the response
http:\/\/www.divethegap.com\/update\/options\/padi-open-water\/
So need to strip the slashes. I know how to do it in PHP but not in AJAX JavaScript.
Any ideas?
Marvellous
A new answer to an old question:
String.prototype.stripSlashes = function(){
return this.replace(/\\(.)/mg, "$1");
}
Example of use:
var str = "You\'re slashed \/\\..\/\\"; // Text from server
str = str.stripSlashes() ;
output:
You're slashed /\../\
This is an old post but thought I would add my answer, seems more efficient than some other answers here:
var url = "http:\/\/www.divethegap.com\/update\/options\/padi-open-water\/"
var res = url.replace(new RegExp("\\\\", "g"), "");
This will replace all occurrences of a backslash character with nothing.
There has been a good port of many of php's core functions, including stripslashes
over here: http://phpjs.org/functions/stripslashes/
function stripslashes (str) {

return (str + '').replace(/\\(.?)/g, function (s, n1) {
switch (n1) {
case '\\':
return '\\';
case '0':
return '\u0000';
case '':
return '';
default:
return n1;
}
});
}
You're sending JSON, but inserting it directly into a HTML element. That is not wise, can create broken results, and probably not what you want to do in the first place.
You should probably either
change the PHP script's output to create proper HTML
expect JSON on the JavaScript side (using jQuery's dataType
parameter, or the shorthand $.json()
, and parse that
Have you tried string.replace?
success: function(data) {
$('#OPTcontentpanel').load(data.OPTpermalink.replace("\\", ""));
