dynamic links?

Anon

I have a really stupid problem. Using PHP to generate a table of results from a query, each row is generated as a link via the following:

echo "<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">

This works, but when rolling the cursor over the resulting text, the cursor changes from an arrow to a text-entering character. What gives? The links function normally save this problem...

Firstly, is your anchor completed, only the echo you pasted is incomplete (unless it is simply the first part of a longer echo in which case accept my apologies.

echo "<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">";

What does your cursor do over other links? Does it correctly change to the hand, or does it also change to a text marker? If it doesn't change to the hand then it could be one of your mouse settings that is wrong, rather than anything wrong with your coding.

Have you looked at the source code generated to see what it looks like?

The full anchor is:

    echo "<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\"><tr><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $FromYear</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $ToYear</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $Make</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $Model</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $HorsePower</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $FitmentCodes</td><td>
    <font face=Verdana size=-2 color=white>
    $DriveTrain</td></tr></a>";

The source generated looks like this:

<a href="prod_detail.php?SKU=60001"><tr><td>

1955</td><td>

1957</td><td>

Chevrolet</td><td>

Chevrolet</td><td>

1000</td><td>

A,C</td><td>

Manual Transmission</td></tr></a>

Aren't you just miising your closing tag </a>?

no, it's at the end of the row.

Anchors cannot span cells

Is this the code you pasted:
echo "<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\"><tr><td>

$FromYear</td><td>

$ToYear</td><td>

$Make</td><td>

$Model</td><td>

$HorsePower</td><td>

$FitmentCodes</td><td>

$DriveTrain</td></tr></a>";

If so, do this and it should accomplish what you want and work:

echo "<tr><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$FromYear</a></td><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$ToYear</a></td><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$Model</a></td><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$HorsePower</a></td><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$FitmentCodes</a></td><td>

<a href=\"prod_detail.php?SKU=$SKU\">$DriveTrain</a></td></tr>";
