php & javascript

[dantexxx]

Hi.

Can you pass php vars into a javascript function? And if so, how?

[Yegg]

U can use it via cookies, sessions or URL.

it help's if you can tell us, what kind of function is it.

bascily you can use vars in function by using

print "
<script>
</script>
";

or

<a href="javascript😃oSomething(<?echo $da;?>)">Click here</a>

Actually I just figured out how to do it.

One more question for y'all tho... does the onClose event handler work in IE?? I have it in my body tag calling a function, but nothing happens when I close the window.

[TTT]

not sure ... try:

onClose="javascript: return someFunction();"

Nope, doesn't seem to work.

What I tried is this:

onClose="javascript: <? echo "window.open('csc_logout.php?csr_id=$csr_id', 'csc_logout', 'width=600,height=200,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,location=yes');"

Wanting it to open that URL in a new window on closing the current window. It works with onUnLoad, but that's not what I want.

[TTT]

is onClose syntax?? why don't you use onUnLoad??

debug that with Netscape. type:
javascript:
and then the url

I dont want the window to open unless the parent window is closed, not just refreshed. OnUnLoad opens the new window everytime the main window is refreshed.

I need it to just happen on window close.
