triple quote

[wannabe_god]

I'd like a way to ignore a quote, or something like that, so that i can write a double quote in a string. Something like

document_write('''<td onmouseover="alert('hi')">hi</td>''');

why are there no triple quotes

You have to escape the quotes of the same type the string is in, by the backslash.

document_write('<td onmouseover="alert(\'hi\')">hi</td>');

But there are lots of other similar valid ways, you can use HTML entities inside the alert() function ("), you can use double quotes for the string and escape the inner double quotes, instead of the singles, etc. Possibly even more qays. So this is only an example :)This is how I would do it when I use javascript:

document_write("<td onmouseover='alert(\"hi\")'>hi</td>");

Because I want to use the same quot syntax I use with PHP, and then I am forced to use double quotes for the string, to be able to escape signs in it (when the string is single quoted in php, it doesn't parse special characters)

Thank you! :)I knew it was something like that, i just tested it with / ...

Lol. No only a backslash, it is always a backslash that says "the folowing sign is a literal character", and much other things in other situations too. The slash is only used to close html elements :)Glad to help
