[Javascript] multiple languages

[Shawn Milo]

The easy way to do this, in my experience, is
double-double-quote.

Response.Write "<span style=""background: yellow;"">"

This is much nicer than the way I used to do it:

Response.Write "<span style=" & chr(34) & "background: yellow;" & chr(34) & ">"

I don't know if this will work in your application, but if you're
using ASP, it should work.
