[sakcee]

Hi

can anyone tell me what is wrong with this expression , it is working
fine in python cmd line
but in JS console it gives error

var spaceRe = /^(<br />|<br/>|<p>|</p>|<\n>|\&nbsp*$/gi;

Error: unterminated parenthetical


thanks

There is much wrong there:

1 / should be escaped \/

2 | if you mean "or" is ||

3 & does not have to be escaped
