Difference between " and '

[jodleren]

Hi

I have used JS for years, still I dont know this. I know the
difference in php but not in js.

window.open('page.htm'); and window.open("page.htm"); - what is the
difference?

None :-)
In JavaScript it doesn't matter whether you use single or double
quotes.

JavaScript doesn't care.

window.alert('a\nb');
window.alert("a\nb");

None, as long as you escape them when you nest them.

There is no real difference but using single quotation marks is a bit
more convenient when writing an HTML string. Single quotation marks
save needing to escape attribute double quotation marks.

'<div id="myDiv">asdf</div>'

vs.

"<div id=\"myDiv\">asdf</div>"

Not at all!

Single quotation marks
save needing to escape attribute double quotation marks.

'<div id="myDiv">asdf</div>'

vs.

"<div id=\"myDiv\">asdf</div>"

Eh? try:

'<div id="myDiv">asdf</div>'

vs.

"<div id='myDiv'>asdf</div>"

IMHO, with a UK keyboard and my eyes, ' is better for writing a string
but " is better for reading one.
