removing backslash in a string with Javascript/jQuery

When I query twitter feeds, the returned profile url contains backslashs and looks like:

"http:\/\/a0.twimg.com\/profile_images\/2419298032\/image_normal.jpg"

how to remove the backslashes to make it look like:

"http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2419298032/image_normal.jpg"

Thanks a lot!

P.S. seems

x=x.replace(/\/gi, "");

doesn't work...

x = x.replace(/\\/g, '');

You have to use two backslashes to get the \ character. A single backslash is used for control characters such as \r \n etc. Using the double backslash escapes this and gives you what you want.
