In this example, the quote mark is meaningless.
As the quote mark is used as a string delimiter, they will be taken out
during the parse operation, but then added back when the parsed characters
are made into a string.

So, "test.gif" becomes test.gif, which becomes "test.gif" again.
Maybe that's not very well explained, but i hope you get the idea.
