Description
The escapejs filter uses \x.. to escape special characters inside strings. According to http://www.json.org/ this is wrong, \u.... should be used instead.
This actually bite me while using jQuery. Since jQuery 1.4 the JSON-responses get validated, so all my JSON-responses (that are constructed using escapejs) got broken.
Patch to fix this should be rather trivial.
Steps to reproduce:
>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import escapejs
>>> print escapejs('just-a-test')
just\x2Da\x2Dtest
Open http://www.jsonlint.com/ and paste ["just\x2Da\x2Dtest"] , hit Validate.
