Hello,

I'm trying to work on a timetable. In my file I've got two tables. In the first I represent the timetable of the selected class and period and in the second table I can edit the information of the first table.

After every row in the first table there is an option edit

When I click on edit I want the selected row to be highlighted.

How can I do this?


<table width="650" border="0" class="admintable" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0">
    <tr class="bodytitle6"> 
	<td>Day</td>
    <td>Subject</td>
    <td>Name</td>
    <td>Room</td>
  </tr>

  <?php
  if ($totalRows_viewtable > 0){
  do 
  { ?>
  <tr class="bodytitle6">
    <td>
      <?php echo $row_viewtable['day']; ?>
      </td>
    <td>
      <?php echo $row_viewtable['subject']; ?>
      </td>
    <td>
      <?php echo $row_viewtable['name']; ?>
      </td>
	  <td>
	  <?php echo $row_viewtable['room']; ?>
	  </td>

 <td>

 <a href="index.php?cmd=Edittable&tableid=
		<?php echo $row_viewtable['table_id']; ?>&listclass=<?php echo $listclass?>&listperiod=<?php echo $listperiod?>">edit</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

</td> 
  </tr>
  <?php } 
  while ($row_viewtable = mysql_fetch_assoc($viewtable));} ?>
</table>  

<form name="add_table" method="post" action="">

  <table width="650" border="0" class="admintable" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0">

   <td> <select name="day">
        <option value="1">MON</option>
        <option value="2">TUE</option>
        <option value="3">WEN</option>
        <option value="4">THU</option>
        <option value="5">FRI</option>
        <option value="6">SAT</option>
        <option value="7">SUN</option>
      </select> </td>

<td> <select name="listsubject"id="listsubject"> ...</select></td>
<td> <select name ="listname" id ="listname"> ...</select></td>

<td><select name ="listroom" id ="listroom"> ...</select></td>

<tr valign="bottom" class="bodytitle7"> 
  <td colspan="6"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Save"  class="formbutton"> 
    <input name="cmd" type="hidden" id="cmd" value="Savetable">
  </td>

</tr>
  </table>
</form>

Hey

This sounds like what I have got going on here:

If you click on the tab, the page is reloaded but the tab that was clicked is now 'active'.

How I did it (same for you) :

Duplicate the CSS class you have for the TRs - bodytitle6 I think yours is, not sure.

Make the necessary changes to the formatting to make it different from the other TRs so that it would appear 'active'.

Now is the tricky part of replacing your css class with an if statement. This if should look at your GET variable and determine if it is active or not. If it is, then the new 'active' class should ECHO and if not then the bodytitle6 class is ECHO'd.

I haven't had a proper look over your code but it sounds exactly like my tabbing system.
