(Simple) Are HTML attributes allowed to have spaces between assignments

Question

I'm doing some attribute parsing as a string, so I need to know how spaces are used in HTML/XHTML element attributes:

  <div id='myid' width='150px' />

Is this also correct?

  <div id = 'myid' width = '150px' />

If anyone knows other ways of iterating through attributes and their values using JavaScript, I'd be interested to know.

Answer 1

Yes, both are correct. Rather than string parsing, you'll want to use the DOM. Check out jquery.

Answer 2

The spaces are allowed. If you are parsing attributes why don't you let the browser parse? If you are using innerHTML than you get elements that have an attribute list
