Both are "correct" technically.

As for being standardized, it isn't. Typically though use ' in JS and
leave " for HTML. It makes escaping a lot simpler.

Both are correct. String literals in ECMAScript/Javascript can be
surrounded by either single or double quotes, as long as they
match.

This is specified in the ECMAScript standard:
<URL:http://www.ecma-international.o rg/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm>
and also in the specifications of the ECMAScript compliant languages
javascript: <URL:http://developer.mozil la.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript _1.5_Guide:Lite rals#String_Lit erals>
and JScript: <URL:http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/en-us/script56/html/c7a6bd3a-4b1c-4dbe-8505-106dbf483b41.as p>
