A better JavaScript version of addslashes and stripslashes?

Question

I am using these 2 functions:

http://javascript.about.com/library/bladdslash.htm

But JSLint complains 'Bad Escapement' on this line:

str=str.replace(/\\0/g,'\0');

[Edit]

I converted to 2 lines, and now the first line is the one that fails JLint:

var rep = '\0';
str=str.replace(/\\0/g,rep);

So it is the

'\0'

can you help? I could try something but I want to understand what is going on.

[/Edit]

Can you make a better version and explain?

I would like a version that passes JSLint and still works.

Replace '\0' with String.fromCharCode(0).

Alternatively, if you don't expect your data to contain embedded nulls (which it really shouldn't), you can remove that line entirely.
