simple lnk question 1

[sundance1980]

I am not a javascript programmer at all and you can probably tell by my question Any way I am trying to add a prompt for people to create link. The problem is that the \ is not coming up when I submit.

theText = "<a href=directory\" " + url + "\" target=\"_blank\"><u>" + txt + "<\/u><\/a>";

Result= <a href=aimages"test.PDF" target="_blank"><u>My Link</u></a>

Goal = <a href=aimages\test.PDF" target="_blank"><u>My Link</u></a>




full script

function doLink() {
        url = prompt("Enter file name (eg. document1.PDF):", "Enter name");
        if (url != null) {
                txt = prompt("Enter the text description for this link:", "Enter text description");
                if (txt != null) {
                        theText = "<a href=aimages\" " + url + "\" target=\"_blank\"><u>" + txt + "<\/u><\/a>";
                        addText(theText);
                }
        }
}

I just noticed I was using the wrong slash. But that works if I ever need it. Thanks.
