[Resolved] PHP & Javascript Navigation

[nabimomo]

I am very new to PHP and any assistance would be much appreciated. I am trying to setup my first php site and wanted to find out how to combine Javascript onmouseover style navigation with URL on the address bar which will appear as something like http://mywebsite.com/index.php?page=about. I tried out some php functions and also incorporating a mySQL db but the link always stays at index.php instead of going to the about/info.php page. The javascript portion for the about link on the header.php appears as:

<a href="about/info.php" class="nav" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('left2','','../images/menu_button_on2.gif',1)" >
<img src="images/menu_button2.gif" name="about" type="image" border="0" width="174" height="25"></a>

followed by:

<a href="about/info.php" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('left2','','../images/menu_button_on2.gif',1)" ></a>

So are you saying when you click one of those links (linked to about/info.php) that the url does not change? I do not see how that is possible, as a href is bog standard html and will change the url irrespective of whether your php or javascript is invalid.

try relative links from the root

instead of <a href="about/info.php"

try:

<a href="/about/info.php"

assuming the dir about is in the root dir, hence /about
