[Javascript] Split

[Carl Adler]

Ah yes I now remember on a pc "\" is used for internal URLs instead of "/"
which is what I am used to seeing and thought he was splitting on. I mainly
use a Mac and am so used to seeing "/" in internal URLs I mentally
translated his \. That will teach me  to copy and paste. The one time I am
not lazy I pay for it. Sorry about that.
