Are all the escape characters needed?
Are all the escape '\' characters necessary when creating an HTML table using javascript? I've got <\/tr> and <\/td> all over and the code is pretty much unreadable as is even without them. Are they really needed?

I've noticed that when I use a document.write command, it doesn't let me break the line up on separate lines like it shows in my Visual Quickstart Guide for Javascript. Looks really nasty - is this true also?

I'm pretty sure you don't need to escape front slashes. As far as breaking the lines up, no, you can't split a document.write() across multiple lines. And as far as the book goes... I tried to learn JavaScript way back when using a Visual Quick Start... it was horrible... some friendly advice you can take or leave: you should try a different book.
