I don't understand why it is giving me false while the two strings are equal.

var str = 'https:\/\/monsite.com\/"onload="alert(1)"';
var patt = /https:\/\/monsite.com\/"onload="alert(1)"/i;
var result = patt.test(str);
document.write("Returned value: " + result);

I am a new beginner.

    It could be the parentheses in your regex. Commented Mar 30, 2013 at 16:49

You need to escape parentheses inside Regex they are special characters.

/https:\/\/monsite.com\/"onload="alert\(1\)"/
