no need to escape innerHTML characters in javascript?

Question

Should I not escape the double quotes in "markup4" and such? To my surprize this plain works. If I replace them by the " thing it doesn't. ``` ```

Accepted Answer

These work without escape: ``` innerHTML = "

"; innerHTML = '

'; ``` Note: When the `"` used outside, the `'` works properly inside. (and the opposite) These need the escape: ``` innerHTML = '

'; innerHTML = "

"; ``` Note: When you use the double quote outside and inside, the inside's `"` needs to be escaped by `\`. (same for single quotes) These will break: ``` innerHTML = "

"; innerHTML = '

'; ```
