You see something before hitting backslash. I guess you didnt even bother to try it? Why are you even commenting then? When you hit backslash it simply changes the formatting, making what you see easier to read. If I can read the content as text, then it works. Its a text-only browser. Its for reading text, not executing Javascript.
