JavaScript strings

Strings can either be wrapped in " or ' characters. The following are the valid escape characters:

• \" double quote


• \' single quote


• \\ backslash


• \/ slash


• \b backspace


• \f formfeed


• \n new line


• \r carriage return


• \t tab


• \uxxxx where x can be any hex digit

\u allows you to specify a character numerically. e.g '\u0065' = 'e'
