Adding Javascript to an Outputted URL

[Spire2000]

I have the following piece of code:

$output->Text('<td width=250"><P ALIGN="center"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="image/image.gif"></A><BR><BR><A HREF="' .$url. '?pic=1">Link name</A></P>'); 

This is dynamically creating a URL on my page.

I also have a Javascript function that controlls how the link opens (window size, etc...) called open_archive. When I place it in the code before the PHP variable, it doesn't work. If the URL were a normal hard coded URL, it works fine, like this:

$output->Text('<td width=250"><P ALIGN="center"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="image/image.gif"></A><BR><BR><A HREF="javascript:open_archive(\' [url]http://www.tsn.ca\[/url]');>Link name</A></P>'); 

Anyone have any ideas how I can add the javascript to the variable script?

that javascript makes no sense. Your HREF reads:

<a href="javascript<img src="images/smilies/redface.gif">

what does that mean???

Hmm, the formatting of the php tags seems to have screwed up my code by putting a smilie and trying to parse the URL. Let me try again...

$output->Text('<td width=250"><P ALIGN="center"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="image/image.gif"></A><BR><BR><A HREF="javascript:open_archive(\' http://www.tsn.ca\');>Link name</A></P>');

Looks like you've got a quotes problem

Try adding some \ as necessary to escape your quotes:

echo 'This will work';
echo 'This won't work';
echo 'But this won\'t fail';
