String Data Literals
This section provides rules on writing String data literals, characters enclosed in double quotes.
In the previous section, we learned that a String data literal is a sequence of characters enclosed in double quotes ("), like "Hello".
But there is one additional rule about String data literals:
I have the following script, string_literal.html, to show you how to include double quotes in string literals:
<html>
<body>
<!-- string_literal.html

-->
<pre>
<script language="vbscript">
document.writeln("Ding...")
document.writeln("He said: ""Hello?""")
document.writeln("She said: ""Hello, Who's calling?""")
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
Here is the output of the sample script:
Ding... He said: "Hello?" She said: "Hello, Who's calling?"
By the way, VBScript does not support string literals with single quotes (').
