You could use str.replace() and a Regular expression object here. Basically you just need to escape the escape character in your replacement string.

str = str.replace(new RegExp('/','g'),"\\/");

use replace:

"http:/www.freeformatter.com/javascript-escape.html".replace(/\//g, "\\/");

If you have the string in a variable:

var url = "http:/www.freeformatter.com/javascript-escape.html";
url.replace(/\//g, "\\/");

You can do:

str.replace(/\//g, "\\/");

where str is the variable that holds the string value.
