Please define "not working". I tested your code and to me it seems to work. So tell us what output you expect and what output you actually get. — KIKO Software

the output of your code is <div class="droppable" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div> what's wrong with it? — Raftx24

As I get you want to remove the \s to get proper HTML.

Better way should be -

stripslashes('<div class=\"droppable\" ondrop=\"drop(event)\" ondragover=\"allowDrop(event)\"></div>');

Output

<div class="droppable" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div>

'\"' is literally a "slash-double-quote". It will be escaped in "\""

sss.. mistaken the quotes. :)
