Single or Double quotes in jQuery [duplicate]

When to Use Double or Single Quotes in JavaScript
This is specifically for jQuery not JavaScript in general since I'm not a JavaScript programmer and I'm starting to learn jQuery.
With the release of jQuery 1.6 was there a specific change on using single or double quotes?
For example, would the following function work in jQuery 1.6?:
$('.selector').show();
Or do I have to use double quotes?:
$(".selector").show();
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
JQuery Core Style Guidelines says:
"Strings should always use double-quotes instead of single-quotes."
You are allowed to use both. In JavaScript there is no difference between both (while e.g. in PHP there is a difference).
By the way, this is a JavaScript question. You are passing a string to the $()
function, and strings have to be surrounded by '
or "
.
jQuery is JavaScript and as such emits the same behavior: Both behave the same, because both represent a string.
Is there any specific reason you think that jQuery 1.6 changed something here?
