Yes, the quotes are right. You'll notice that the double quotes surround a
URL argument for the javascript variable (which starts with a leading /),
and that whole thing is enclosed in single quotes as the argument to the
onmouseover call. I believe what you're saying is that I should escape the
inner set of quotes to make them part of the string, right?
I think the problem with this is that javascript doesn't allow embedded
quotes of the same type. Meaning, if you have doubles on the outside, you
have to have singles on the inside, and vice versa. After reading Joe's
response posted here about how Orion rewrites stuff during parsing, I came
to the conclusion that Orion basically forces the outer quotes to be double
quotes, and the inner quotes to be single in order for javascript to be
interpreted right by the browser.
Once I re-ordered my quotes, everything was working fine. IMO, this is the
more logical way to do it anyway, but I s'pose if Tomcat and JRun allow it
to be done the other way, Orion should too. I'll lodge a bug report, and
we'll go from there.
anyhoo, to make a long story short, the problem in my code is fixed now,
and it is operating as it should. Thanks for all the responses!
