[Resolved] Why does onMouseover not work?

[biffboy1126]

I created my onMouseover and onMouseout events and put them in a variable which I call when I echo the entire nav script. I've triple checked it and can't seem to find where the error is that is telling me there is an unexpected T_STRING on the first line of $mouseover. Here is my code:

			$linkarray = array( 
    				"Home" => "index.php", 
    				"Issues" => "issues.php", 
    				"Biography" => "bio.php", 
  					"Voter Information" => "voter.php", 
    				"Contact" => "contactus.php" 
    				); 

			$width = '150';
			$align = '60';
			$tstyle = "text-align: center;
						background-color: #FFFFFF;
						border: 2px solid #cccccc;
						topborder: 3px solid #cccccc;";
			$mouseover = "onMouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#eaeaea';";";
			$mouseout = "onMouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';";";

			foreach ($linkarray as $key => $link) { 
			if ($currentpage == $link) { 
    			$style = "text-align: center;
							color: #000000;"; 
			} else { 
    			$style = "text-align: center;
							color: #003399;
							left-margin: 24px;"; 
			} 
echo "<td \"".$mousever."\" \"".$mouseout."\" "\"style=\"".$tstyle."\" width=\"".$width."\"><a href=\"".$link."\" style=\"".$style."\" left-margin=\"".$align."\">".$key."</a></td>";  
}

Thanks for your help.

$mouseover = "onMouseover="

Need to escape your double quotes.

alright, I fixed that and the menu renders....

but the onMouseover events don't work! am I doing something wrong?

$linkarray = array( 
    				"Home" => "index.php", 
    				"Issues" => "issues.php", 
    				"Biography" => "bio.php", 
  					"Voter Information" => "voter.php", 
    				"Contact" => "contactus.php" 
    				); 

			$width = '150';
			$align = '60';
			$tstyle = "text-align: center;
						background-color: #FFFFFF;
						border: 2px solid #cccccc;
						topborder: 3px solid #cccccc;";
			$mouseover = "onMouseover=\"this.style.background=\'#ffffff'\';";";";
			$mouseout = "onMouseout=\"this.style.background=\'#ffffff'\';";";";

			foreach ($linkarray as $key => $link) { 
			if ($currentpage == $link) { 
    			$style = "text-align: center;
							color: #000000;"; 
			} else { 
    			$style = "text-align: center;
							color: #003399;
							left-margin: 24px;"; 
			} 
echo "<td ".$mouseover." ".$mouseout." style=\"".$tstyle."\" width=\"".$width."\"><a href=\"".$link."\" style=\"".$style."\" left-margin=\"".$align."\">".$key."</a></td>";  
}

thanks.

Change this:

$mouseover = "onMouseover=\"this.style.background='#ffffff'';";";"; 
                $mouseout = "onMouseout=\"this.style.background='#ffffff'';";";"; 

to this:

$mouseover = "onMouseover=\"this.style.background='#ffffff'\"";
$mouseout = "onMouseout=\"this.style.background='#ffffff'\"";
