MetaData plugin: Invalid quantifier error in Firefox 1.0 (with fix)

Description

Unfortunately, the metadata plugin from SVN does not contain a version number or date, but I reproduced this in the current version as of March 27, 2007:

In line 95,

if( !/^{/.test(data) ) data = "{" + data + "}";

must be changed to

if ( data.indexOf( '{' )<0 ) data = "{" + data + "}";

so the plugin also works in Firefox 1.0 - I know this browser is not on the supported browser list, but this is an easy fix...

It should be enough to escape the "illegal quantifier": if ( !/^\\{/.test(data) ) ...
