Passing variables to page with pop up

seanmayhew

I have a calendar page that when you click an event it opens a pop up window using javascript with the details from that event.

On the front page of my site I have a section for upcoming events that currently just grabs the next five events in the calendar ordered by date and displays them with a link to the calendar page. I would like to be able to somehow get these links to go to the calendar page ANDDDDD open the even that is selected.

Here is what my string looks like when an event is selected from the calendar page:

javascript:launchsmall("calendar.php?display=event&id=9&date=2003-7-2")

<?
							//Request 5 Events and assign Variables
$eventResult = @mysql_query("Select id,name,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(event_date) as unixdate from ltw_events where event_date > curdate() limit 5");
if(!$eventResult){
	echo("<p>Error performing query: ".mysql_error()."</p>");
	exit();
	}
while($eventRow = mysql_fetch_array($eventResult)){
//$leadeventid = $articlerow["userid"];
$eventID = $eventRow["id"];
$eventName = $eventRow["name"];
$eventDate = $eventRow["event_date"];

// Then read the unixdate value from that array 
$EntryUnixDate = $eventRow['unixdate']; 

// Then let's convert the Unix Timestamp into a better date 
$EntryRealDate = date("M j, Y", $EntryUnixDate);

echo("<a href='calendar/calendar.php'><font color=$bground>$eventName</font></a><br><div class='NormalBlack'>$EntryRealDate</div>");
						}	
echo("<br><a href='calendar/calendar.php'><font color='$bground'>View our Complete Calendar</font></a>");
						?>

change this

echo("<a href='calendar/calendar.php'><font color=$bground>$eventName</font></a><br><div class='NormalBlack'>$EntryRealDate</div>");

echo("<a href='javascript:launchsmall(\"calendar.php?display=event&id=".$eventID."&date=".date("M-n-d", $EntryUnixDate)."\")'> <font color=$bground> $eventName</font></a><br><div class='NormalBlack'>$EntryRealDate</div>");

and then put the code for the javascript function launchsmall() at the top of this page

EDIT : there is no space like "java script", for some reason it puts the space in when i post the code, it should be without a space !!!
