trying to add java "onclick" to my php

DKY

I currently have this

$view = '<a href="?mode=view&table=' . $table . '&main_id=' . $row['Product_Number'] . '" 
TARGET=\"_blank\">
View Item</a>';
    echo "<tr STYLE=\"Cursor:Hand;\"
 ONMOUSEOVER=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#E2EEE2';\" 
ONMOUSEOUT=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';\">
<td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>
$Thumbnail</td>
<td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; 
border-bottom-width:1'>$Item_Name</td><td align='right' 
STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>
$Price</td><td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; 
border-bottom-width:1'>$view</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

which displays a row with a thumbnail, item name, etc....then to view it, you click on the view link, and it shows a bigger picture, item name, price, etc..... I want to get rid of the view link, and make the cell clickable, and have it point to the same location as the $view variable did. How would I add that in an "onclick"?

1) This is quite possibly the worste formated code I have EVER seen. Someone needs to learn where the return key is.

$view = '<a href="?mode=view&table=' . $table . '&main_id=' . $row['Product_Number'] . '" TARGET=\"_blank\">View Item</a>';

echo "<tr STYLE=\"Cursor:Hand;\" ONMOUSEOVER=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#E2EEE2';\" ONMOUSEOUT=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';\">\n";
echo "  <td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>$Thumbnail</td>\n";
echo "  <td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>$Item_Name</td>\n";
echo "  <td align='right' STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>$Price</td>\n";
echo "  <td STYLE='border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width:1'>$view</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

that's better, now we can actually see what's going on.

1) this is javascript not java
2) you cannot use onmousex in a tr or td tag.
3) javascript is case senitive, i.e. it is onMouseOver not ONMOUSEOVER

here is what you can do

$view = "<a href="javascript:<javascript commands>" class=\"linkButton\">View Item</a>";

In the style sheet:

a:link.linkButton,a:visited:linkButton {
 /*style code goes here*/
}

a:hover.linkButton {
  /*on mouse over style code here*/
}

FYI, check out this page

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/flashy-fading-rollover-menu.html

you CAN do onmouseover in tr/td tags, and...

the oNmOuSoVeR is NOT case sensitive, since it really isn't javascript at that point, it is merely an HTML tag attribute

My question is not with the mouseover, or mouseout.....They work perfectly fine in the tr, and non case sensetive. my questions is concerning the link itself, and the onclick (read the subject) I'm trying to do onclick, because I want the whole cell to be a clickable link. The problem is, the actual link

'<a href="?mode=view&table=' . $table . '&main_id=' . $row['Product_Number'] . '" 
TARGET=\"_blank\"> 
View Item</a>'

How would I put that in an onclick, and get it to work with php.?.?

Create a javascript function my_onclick(), for example, that takes two args, table and product id. Use these to open your image in the new window (javascript).

The only php bit is how to use the new function ...

This is HTML, not a PHP string, so you'll have to adapt it to fit, but this is the basic usage ...

<a href="#"
onclick=" my_onclick('<?=$table?>', '<?=$prodid?>');"
TARGET="_blank">
View Item</a>
