Take a look at http://swiftys.org.uk/click.html and then try clicking
the button; you'll get an alert.

Next, try to change the single quotes in the alert box to double
quotes. 

My first attempt was to replace \' with \" but this caused the alert
not to pop up. See http://swiftys.org.uk/click_ss.html

A person whose initials are PT suggested transposing all of the
quotes, which you can see at http://swiftys.org.uk/click_pt.html

This works.

Why? And why did my click_ss.html NOT work at all?
