Hi,

I am new to jQuery and have been using some pre-written code to learn with.

One piece of this code is using the .after() function to add in some tags, I understand that concept, I just don't understand why they would be adding some thing like this:

1. <\/ul>

 What is the purpose of that backslash in there? This is the whole line: 

1. jQuery(this).after("<div class='stripTransmitter' id='stripTransmitter" + (j) + "'><ul><\/ul><\/div>");

Thanks for any help!
