How to split on a backslash '\' ?

The following code does not seem to work, I have tried all
combinations of \\, \, \\\ etc. Unfortunately I can not change str .

<script type="text/javascript">

var str = 'Hello \ World';
var pattern = /\\/;
result = str.split( pattern );

alert(result[0]);

</script>

the right patern would have to be :

var pattern = /\ /;

because :

var str = 'Hello \ World';

result = str.split( pattern );

or :

result = str.split( '\ ' );
