open and closing quotes?!

Can anyone tell me what is the differences between open and closing quotes or the standard double quote?  Thank you in advance!! 

can you give me an example line of each? thank you!

well in ASP if you do

<% response.write("hello world")%>

you cant use quotes in it or it will end the "response.write"

so you will have to use

<% response.write("hello ""world""")%>

the double quotes will cancel it out, so it will show

this would end up writing...

hello "world"

i think the person above was talking about the the ' thing

you could use that would look like

<% response.write("hello 'world'")%>

hope this helps

Unless you are passing the string to a SQL statement and then you will have to replace all instances of the single quote (') with to single quotes ('').

NOTE those are apostrophes (') and not quotes ("). I think a lot of the confusion is in the use of single and double quote. To most, this (") could be a single quote, and this a double quote (""), but we use the apostrophe as a single quote (') and the normal quote (") as double quote.
