Which is correct?

[Nelson Smith]

In my java script to set the value I am using the following code

document.frmMyForm.txtCustNo.value = "xxxxx"

&

document.frmMyForm.txtCustNo.value = 'xxxxx'



Questions is single quote or double quote is right way coding?

Thanks,

Nelson

well either is fine though i prefer single quote to explicity distinguish
between server side string and client side.

Either way is fine.
Really.

either is fine. it just a matter of preference. single quotes are handy when
javascript is imbeeded in html:

<button onclick="doProcess(this,'someLiteral');">

or if the javascript outputs html which contains quotes.

document.write('<img src="images/foo.gif">');

The professional way of doing it is thus:

1. Understand the rules of HTML.
2. Know what your options are.
3. Use the method that is most appropriate at the time.
4. If neither is more appropriate, pick one.

You can take my word for it. I'm a professional. ;-)

Well, you CAN escape double-quotes. But it is more time-consuming to do so.
