apostrophes or quotation marks

crmpicco · February 15th, 2006, 05:10 AM

With respect to writing accurate JS, which code should be used.... apostrophes or quotation marks?

Code:

booking_detailsIn.style.visibility="visible";

or

Code:

booking_detailsIn.style.visibility='visible';

Thanks,
Picco

It doesn't particularly matter. Single quotes don't expand certain characters such as tabs \t and \n newlines, whereas these characters are expanded in double quoted strings. So there is a slight technical difference between the two.

Rich

Both work equally well, however a well formed script should use quotations as much as possible, reserving apostrophes for inside a tag's attributes, and other cases where quotations have already been taken.
