javascript helper adding slashed to JSON object output

[mlecho-2]

hi, i am using the javascript helper to generate JSON feeds. It works
great, except for one thing...if a json property has  a value that is
an absolute url, cakephp wants to escape all the slashes...exampe:

{"flag_img":"http:\/\/www.website.com\/themes\/images\/country\/
countryimage.png"}

how can i get that url without escapes? I just need it as a straight
string.

ah- echo stripslashes($javascript->object($data));
seems to do the trick
unless there is a better way?

this is how JSON works. You need to unescape() the string in the
javascript before using it. if you use jQuery it's automatically done.
If you unescape it from php you'll be in trouble from some browsers.
