Mchl Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 See the blue word 'red' in the code you posted? It should be red... just like all other characters in the string. I mean. You start the string with ". You end the string with ". So what to do with " inside a string? (that's your homework ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start the string with ". You end the string with ". So what to do with " inside a string? (that's your homework ) Considering he has already done this with the other "'s around attribute values. It's weird making the quote symbol plural... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinw Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 It's weird making the quote symbol plural... Only when you don't do it properly - 2 * apple != apple's Sorry, I couldn't help myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks professor gethinw. I'm a software developer, so my grammar skills are little to none. Besides, that stuff is for QA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 In any case, it's perfectly valid to use an apostrophe after a character/symbol if is clarifies meaning. For example, if i were to be talking about the letter a (and, in particular, if there was some reason why i should only be using lowercase) and i want to talk about lots of them, it would almost certainly be better to use "a's" than "as".
