why escaping / in javascript '<\/script>'?
javascript
Solution
- Single and double quoted strings have the same escaping rules.
- It prevents `</script>` from being parsed as an closing tag.
"`</script>` and "`<\/script>`" are the same to JavaScript, but only the first one is interpreted by the HTML parser to contain a HTML closing tag.
Problem
I have seen everyone doing it tho i dont' get why. ``` document.write('<script src="src"><\/script>'); ``` I mean using the single ' you shouldn't need to esacape chars?
