another php and javascript question

[thebighere]

Hey,

I tried to find my issue in the many discussions of php and js, but could not. I apologize if this has been covered.

I bet this is a simple fix, but I sure don't know what it is.

I am doing javascript double-click on a select box, and the double clicking is working fine, but the php variable is not being passed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function goNow()
{

document.location = "viewp.php?i=<?php echo $i ?>";
}
</script>

I have tried document.location.value, but the dbl click doesn't work.

Thanks very much

You do realise that the value of $i is being written BEFORE the user double clicks so nothing they do can change it?

Check the source of your page to see what I mean...

If you have a URL you can post, I'd be interested to take a look - If I can find a fix I'll be able to use it myself! 😃

sure, but maybe i am misunderstanding...

in my select box, i have x number of projects that the user can dbl click on...depending on which one they choose, i = 1 or 3 or whatever number.

But I can't seem to get the value to translate when the dbl click happens and the link is used.

(see code below)

not sure that I do

i can post the code, but not the URL:

basically:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function goNow()
{
document.location = "viewp.php?i=<?php echo $i ?>";
}
</script>
<form blah>
<select name="i" size=17 onChange="clear_field();" ondblclick="goNow()">

<?php
$query = "SELECT id,concat(date_format(start,'%Y-%m'),'-',counter) as d".
",description FROM projects AS p";
$db->query($query);
while ($db->next_record()) {
make_select($db->f("id"),title($db->f("id")));
}
?>
</select>

First of all, I believe it's window.location = ....
and second, you should use the variable inside the select not the php variable.

so do this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function goNow()
{
var choice = document.blah.i.value;
window.location = "viewp.php?i="+choice;
}
</script>

Hope this works.
