Sorry everybody, that email probably should've gone directly to Rudy, not to
the list.

<tip type="HTML" author="Joshua Olson">
Always quote the attributes of tags in your HTML.  Even if you are
generating the HTML server side with Response.Write (ASP), still find a way
to make the resulting HTML quote the tag attributes.  Your mama will love
you for it.  :)

No, seriously though, you'll see the benefit when programming dynamic HTML
that allows the user to provide information for the ALT, TITLE, ETC
attributes.  The user will invariably enter a two word statement, on with an
apostrophe, etc.  Quoting your attributes will help in both cases.  If you
think they may put a quote into their string, make sure the resulting HTML
is correct.
