Possible Duplicate:
When should I use double or single quotes in JavaScript?

Do "" and '' have different meanings in JavaScript?

Because I keep seeing those two usages in jQuery, for instance:

$("")

and

$('')

    No, they mean the same thing; they are both just JavaScript string literals.

    Having have multiple different quote styles is useful so that:

    • You can nest quotes without having to use escape sequences eg. "some string with 'single quotes' in it", or 'a string with "double quotes" in it', and
    • JavaScript strings can be conveniently used inside directly inside HTML, where double-quotes have a special meaning eg <button onclick="alert('foo')">Click me</div>
