We know that when assigning values to attributes, we put the values in double quotes. Like this:
<tagname attr="abc">
If there is a double quote in the value, you go:
<tagname attr='ab"c'>
If there is a single quote, it's as the first one:
<tagname attr="ab'c">
Here's the question. What if the value has both single and double quotes?
Hi,
you'd either use 7 or 8 bit ascii character code references.
Kai :wave:
Apparently you can use the following codes instead of the quote characters:
" = "
' = '
Explain?
Are you talking about using " in there? Would that work in an attribute?
I am indeed talking about using the " in there, such as this:
<tagname attr="ab'c"d"> (= ab'c"d)
I haven't tried it myself, but it makes sense, as HTML supports the same escape method.
You're riiight. :)Quote:

Don't use ', it doesn't work in IE.
Yes, ' is &evil;
