how to use double quotes in document.write

I am new to web programming,learning VBScript.I want to display few text boxes in a form using HTML tags.But when creating text box using this statement - document.write("input type="text"") something is going wrong and nothing is displayed in web page.I know I can create the text box using HTML outside of script block,but can we do it in document.write?

Always, use two quotation marks ("") within a string to represent a single quotation mark.

Example String - "Alex : "how are you", he said"

Wscript.Echo "Alex : ""how are you"", he said" 'Using double quotes

Same is the case when you try to insert html tags in a wbscript. Hope this helps.

You can do it like this

<script language=vbscript>
document.write("input type='text'") '=> input type="text"
document.write("input type=""text""") '=> input type="text"

'as suggested in other answer won't work 
'document.write("input type=\"text\"")
'document.write("input type='text'")
</script>

either try 1 of the 2 following options:

  1. document.write("input type=\"text\"")
  2. document.write("input type='text'")

You are passing your doc.write function its parameter using double quotes, therefore you either have to escape them if you use double quotes again, or use single quotes around 'text'
