In case anyone is interested, this is how I solved the problem of
replacing a back slash with a forward slash (as in being able to access
a document on a file share on an intranet via a browser)
if you cut and paste a path from windows explorer
\\myshare\mydir\mydoc.txt into a form textbox, you can use the
following code to transform it into something usable by a browser:
mytxt = document.myForm.myTextBox.value;
mytxt = mytxt.replace(/\134/g,"/");
\134 is the octal representation of a backslash as a regular
expression. the g is required to replace all instances of the
backslash.
