RE: Full string not displayed (solved)

when the value of any HTML attribute omits the quotes, the browser cannot 
know where one attribute ends and the next attribute begins. therefore, it 
ends the value at the first white space. consider if the string in question 
actually contained an name=value pair, you wouldn't want it effecting your 
HTML now would you? - Cyanide_7
