Question

I currently have this JavaScript:

new_string = "<p>Problem name: <a href=\"http://www.problemio.com/problems/problem.php?problem_id=\" + problem_id + ">" + title + "</a></p>";

Where the title and problem_id are variables with a string and an id respectively.

How should I approach quotes when I have such situations as I am facing now?

Thanks!

You’ve just made a few mistakes with your quotation marks and slashes. It’s best to use both single and double quotes to keep track:

new_string = "<p>Problem name: <a href='http://www.problemio.com/problems/problem.php?problem_id=" + problem_id + "'>" + title + "</a></p>";

However, if you’d like to go the slash route:

new_string = "<p>Problem name: <a href=\"http://www.problemio.com/problems/problem.php?problem_id=" + problem_id + "\">" + title + "</a></p>";
