double or single quotes?

[aoeui]

once read tutorial regarding usage of quotes in .js
cannot find it again

is it better to use “something” or ‘something’
while writing .js ?

I wouldn’t say it’s better (or worse) than anything, but the standard way seems to be using single quotes in code, so you can use double quotes when writing out HTML code, if needed.

document.write('
');

I’m not too sure, you could say it the other way round too:

$('
', {

text: "Don't click here"

});

the single quote will be closed-off by the single quote used in “don’t”.

I don’t think it matters at all. I know people who use double and single quotes. I use single quotes because it looks neater to me.

The only exception I can think of is within JSON… everything must be in double quotes.
