Three quotes

[minli98]

Hi,

I know we can use both " and ' as quotation marks, but what if I need to have 3 in one line. Can I do that?

For example:

...
errorCode+="<a href='#' onclick='javascript:document.getElementById(~myDiv~).style.visibility = ~hidden~'>close</a>";

In this example, I use the symbol ~ as my third quotation mark, but of course this example wouldn't work. Is there a symbol I can use as the third quotation mark?

Many thanks.
Regards,
Min

You can "escape" quotes you need to appear in something using the \ character:

errorCode+='<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById(\'myDiv\').style.visibility=\'hidden\'">close</a>';

Also, the onclick event (as well as other on events) doesn't need the javascript identifier.
