PHP Script Problem

Anon

i have the following script to run on a page and to produce a drop down menu on a trigger image. Everything works fine with the line

echo \\"<script>document.write(\\'Hello World\\');</script>

however as soon as i take that away the drop down menu stop working??? is there something in there that is letting it work and when i take it away it doesn\\'t. I need to run it in php because i need to pass values from an php array into it that comes from a database. I have tried it without php and it works fine and everything. it just doesn\\'t seem to work without that line...Any idea why???

The code

<head>
<title>Welcome to the Homepage</title>
<meta http-equiv=\\"Content-Type\\" content=\\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\\">

echo \\"<script>document.write(\\'f\\');</script>\\";
echo \\"<script>function fwLoadMenus() { </script>\\";
echo \\"<script>if(window.fw_menu_0) return;</script>\\";

echo \\"<script>window.fw_menu_0 = new Menu(\\'root\\',78,16,\\'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\\',9,\\'#ffffff\\',\\'#ffffff\\',\\'#cc0033\\',\\'#000000\\');</script>\\";

echo \\"<script>fw_menu_0.addMenuItem(\\'News Item 1\\');</script>\\";
echo \\"<script>fw_menu_0.addMenuItem(\\'News Item 2\\');</script>\\";
echo \\"<script>fw_menu_0.hideOnMouseOut=true;</script>\\";
echo \\"<script>fw_menu_0.writeMenus();</script>\\";

echo \\"<script> } </script>\\";

</head>

I'm not sure, but you do not need to write it so complex as you wrote it. The characters ' and " does not need to be escaped by backslashes. And <script> have to be only at the beginning of the script and at the end of script. May be that then it will be much more readable to find the mistake.

Thanks mate you just solved the problem....i didn't have all the backslashes in there, i think the message board must have done that when i copied and pasted the code, however i left one <script> and a </script> at the end and took out the document.write function and it worked.

Thanks a lot
