A nit, though. I don't know diddly 'bout JavaScript, but are backslashed backslashes allowed in strings? If so, this grammar doesn't allow for this.

Sure it does, try the perl 5 version that I have at the end: 


sub quoted_string
{
    my $type = quotemeta shift;
    return qr/
        $type
        (?:
            [^$type]+
            |
            (?<= \\ ) $type
        )*
        $type
    /x;
}

my $data = qq(This "is a quoted string" and so is "this" and
 this one "has \\\\ \\" backslashes" and other unrelated stuff);

my @matches = $data =~ / ((??{ quoted_string( qq(") ) })) /xg;

print join("\n\n",@matches);

Also, here are a few Javascript code snippets for those unfamiliar with Javascript: 

<script>
function Some_Function (arg1, arg2) {  }

do {  } while (1)

for (i=0; i < 10; i++) {  }

while (1) {  }

</script>

Its pretty much just like C, for those who are familiar with that (except Javascript variables don't have types).
