Javascript正则表达式返回null但它不应该。为什么?

我有一个正则表达式,它通过Ajax搜索它检索的页面的源,并获取其间的所有数据,包括fieldset标记。

这是我的javascript:

 var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
 var regex = new RegExp("<(fieldset)\b[^>]*>.*?</\1>");

 function showEditForm(i) {

   req.open('GET', '/admin/maps/edit/' + i, false);
   req.send(null);

   var response = req.responseText;
   //strip out all the line breaks
   var responseStripped = response.replace( new RegExp("\\n|\\r", "g"), "" );

   var regexed = regex.exec(responseStripped)
   alert(regexed);

}

这是responseStripped的来源:

我已经确认正则表达式适用于RegexBuddy和RegexPal

但是,当完成所有操作后,我将返回null。

我做错了什么?

谢谢!

请注意这是在测试形式,它可能看起来很丑,但我试图一步一步地分解它,这是它的最后状态。

你忘了逃避字符串中的反斜杠:

var regex = new RegExp("<(fieldset)\\b[^>]*>.*?</\1>");
