Hello

I have a problem with Mozilla 1.6 that I have not with the previous version 
of Mozilla (and Netscape 7.*)

I suppose that the problem comes from the correct of the bug 85721 
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85721 "Regexp performance 
degraded from 4.7").

I tried using regexp to replace the "*" character. 

For Internet Explorer, I use the string "\\*" and for Mozilla before 1.6, I 
use the string "\*" to find and defined the * character.

With Mozilla 1.6, using the same string than in Mozilla 1.5 (\*) don't work 
and I have the message (in javascript console) Error : invalid quantifier *

My questions : 
Which string can I use in mozilla 1.6 ?
Is there a way to find a string that work in all mozilla version ?

Thanks

Julien Queinnec
