OK, I've now seen the other followups requesting backup for this, so: HTML 4.01: At http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2, the spec says: "By default, SGML requires that all attribute values be delimited using either double quotation marks (ASCII decimal 34) or single quotation marks (ASCII decimal 39)." XHTML 1.0 relies on the XML 1.0 spec for this, and the XML 1.0 spec, at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-AttValue, defines an attribute value thusly: AttValue ::= '"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"' | "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'" Hope this helps!
