I think the comma is at the wrong place, it should be: "No",...

Nope. There are two different styles for where punctuation goes with quotes - and it's right for one of them.

Hmmm, good to know. Because in my opinion it doesn't make sense to put the comma inside the quotes. However, that's the way I always see when reading something in English.

Yeah, the style used when writing books is "Punctuation (inc. commas) go inside the quotes if it is at all possible that they can. Always."

I like that style myself. ;-)
