Extreme newb here... just starting learning html minutes ago. I'm wondering what the purpose of quotations are in a link when using the <a> tag? For example: <a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a> ... still works when using: <a href=http://www.w3schools.com>This is a link</a> So why use quotes? Isn't less considered cleaner/better code?
The first one is considered valid syntax while the second one is not valid. Although they do appear to give the same result, the first way is recommended.
