But he wants to split based on \, not on /.  
txt.split("\\") escapes the second \ character, just as
txt.split("\"") escapes the " character so you can split on it... not that you would, but there it is.
As for working in different browsers... ah, that's the joy of web development.

ME. If "\" was a problem I think that you would use "\/" not "//"
