Guru, that you can be a Guru if you create a code conversion like "VB" to "Javascript" only using recursive regexp. ;) I just finished my own code conversion. Sorry my poor english, i'm brazilian!

After reading it, it made me more determined to work it out for myself, and I just did :) \w+\s*=\s*(["'\w])(?:(?:.*?\1)|[^\s|>]*) There may be an easier way but I've tested this and it works fine with attributes written like attr="val", attr='val', attr='hello "value"' and attr=val. I'm using it in a function that removes non-white-listed attributes (mostly to catch onmouseover, onfocus, etc). I probably wouldn't have been as determined if I hadn't read this post. I felt compelled to try and fit into a higher level, I'm probably a User with a few points in haxz0r. Go me!

There may be an easier way but I’ve tested this and it works fine with attributes written like attr=”val”, attr=’val’, attr=’hello “value”‘ and attr=val.
