don't we all hate the 'smart quotes' feature? ;)

I don't think the survey go in such details.
does it work, at least? I didn't check.

Look at your original post, where a link is supposed to be.

It seems that the <a href=...> construct did not work. This happened for 2 reasons.
1. The starting < is absent.
2. The quotes after href= are the "smart quotes", not "straight", and thus the value would not be interpreted correctly.

Magnified:

” smart quote (closing).

" regular shift+apostrophe quote.

Can you see the difference?

Most of the time, it's some well-intended word processor that silently replaces plain quotes to pairs of opening-closing smart quotes. It looks better in typography -- but ruins code.

Thanks! corrected. I just pasted the link from the original page and didn't check.
