Thanks! I had put a bunch of those into a long string of text that had quotes in it, but I had begun wondering if I was using them wrong. -Phyllis

You are right. The backslash is used when you want to embed special characters. The character comes after the backslash.

\n = new line
\' = quote
\" = double quote

So if you have a string with a quote in it use this:

var htmlStr = "You said \"Hello\".";
