PHP / JavaScript

[Anon]

Hey,

Please excuse my ignorance if I'm doing things a bit backwards, but basically, I have a page with the following:

<A HREF="" onClick="window.open ('message.php<? echo "?username=$username"; ?>', 'newWnd', 'width=225,height=225,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;"><? echo $username; ?></A>

All it does is open a javascript window while passing some PHP variables to the new window. However, with Netscape and older versions of IE (works fine with 5.5), something isn't working correctly (ie. variables aren't being passed, etc.). Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt

Just a hint - use your View Source feature of your browser to see what's going on. Maybe it's that $user isn't set for that page. I could see no other harmful thing IF the message.php page is loading fine. Perhaps older versions of IE and Netscape didn't pass a variable or didn't get that cookie... who knows. See what View Source gives you. Hope this helps 🙂

Another hint - I've run into the same problem, where I was including a piece of javascript from PHP.

In IE5 and 5.5 it worked like a charm, and in NS4.7 is returned a broken image (the javascript in turn passes a number of variables to another script, that writes to my database.

If I commented out the Javascript using

<!--

[Here goes the javascript-code]
-->
It doesn't work...

If I used the following way to comment out the Javascript, it does work...

<!--

[Here goes the javascript-code]
//-->

I'm not sure that your problem will be solved by this, but let hope it does 🙂

Someone with the same problem (seeing these are archives)might want to try this:

onClick="window.open ('message.php?username=<?=$username?>", 'newWnd', 'width=225,height=225,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;"><?=$username?>
