My project http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10007795/ doesn't seem to load, though its API does (http://scratch.mit.edu/internalapi/project/10007795/get/). I'm not sure why this is happening, and there's nothing tell-tale in the console. Help?

(This project has disappeared before, due to a string escaping but in the encode/decoder. Maybe that has come back from the dead.)

EDIT: Some hacking later, I found the issue: the backslash character (\) is not escaped properly when serializing to JSON.

Nice detective work! Where did you have a backslash character?

I was setting a variable to it or something—I actually was allowing string escaping in my parser within Scratch!

Aha! My generator won't load it either

Nice error message. Error: OK?

I blame jQuery.

Yeah. Can you speak out against it on the sci collab thread? People (except me) listen to you.

Great detective work! I found this broken project during alpha or early beta and immediately fixed the bug that caused it. (@blob8108 The problem did involve the JSON code passing JavaScript, although it wasn't specific to jquery. That code path that no longer exists.)

Fortunately, this problem was extremely rare. When I first found this problem I ran a scan of all projects that had been created up until that time and I believe this was the only project with this problem (there may have been one other).

I've manually repaired the project (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10007795/) so it now loads again.
