Javascript

Anon

Is there a way to pass a variable a javascript that opens a new page. The code I have is as follows

$result = mysql_query ( "SELECT * from mpn_war_games WHERE result = '' ORDER BY e_date ");
while ( $a_row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{

     echo "<tr bgcolor=$dcolor>"
           ."<td width=\"19%\"><div align=\"center\">".date("D j M H:i", $a_row[e_date])."</div></td>"
           ."<td width=\"23%\"><div align=\"center\">";listclan( $a_row[opp_id] ); echo "</div></td>"
           ."<td width=\"23%\"><div align=\"center\">";leaguetype( $a_row[league] ); echo "</div></td>";
          echo "<td width=\"17%\"><div align=\"center\">$a_row[id]</div></td>";
          echo "<td width=\"18%\" align=\"middle\"><div align=\"center\"><form>";

            ### open new window script ########
           echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">"
                ."function openwindow()"
                ."{"
                ."window.open(\"http://www.nuta.co.uk/wars_games.php?gameid=$a_row[id]\",\"my_new_window\",\"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=300,height=400\")"
                ."}"
                ."</script>";


           #### from to open the page #####
           echo  "<INPUT type=\"image\""
                ."name=\"submit$a_row[id]\""
                ."value=\"Open Window\""
                ."src=\"images/wars/view.png\""
                ."onclick=\"openwindow()\">";


             echo "</form></div></td>";

           }
         echo "</tr></table>";

But due to the form being in a loop the output to the new page always gives the last id. I need to remove the part after war_games.php?$a_row[id]. This will always pass the last id

Any ideas would be nice

Thanks if ya can help

the issue is that you're creating a new javascript function in every loop and the last javascript function created is the one being used by the clients browser.

move the javascript out of the loop and between the <HEAD> </HEAD> tags where it belongs, then rewrite the function:

now in the loop for the input tag change the way the javascript function is called to:

openwindow($a_row[id])

now one openwindow function is created and each input tag passes the row to be used to the openwindow() function.
