Actually, it needs to be quoted if it doesn't look like an identifier, (with an optional leading minus sign). So things like the following do need to be quoted: fish&chips drip-dry +factor But the main point is that it is useful, common practice, and more readable to omit the quotes for "simple" words used as hash keys in braces or to the left of the => operator. And "use strict" doesn't care. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
