Using Include() with image button

SilveryGod

Hi there
Thanks for visiting this topic, now dont move, i need your help 😉

I'm having a big problem that i cant solve myself.
I've spent several hours searching on the net but cant find what im looking for.

After reading this, you might think that im almost trying to build a kind of php iframe but i have no choice.

Im building a webpage which separate into two parts(top and bottom)

1-The Top (menu)= that have 4 image button with rollover states;
and this navigation bar should not reload (too many pictures to load) so...

2-The Bottom (content) that include() pages resquested by the clicked button.

As i know that I cant use javascript event handler with php, Im not able to change the content of the include() function from clicking an image button.

Please, i beg for help!
Regards

Can you help here?

I'm not really understanding what you're trying to do. Are you trying to change the value of parameter passed to the include() function? Can you show your code and point to what you're trying to do in it?

just wanted to avoid too many explanation but there's more details;

my bottom part isnt exactly a bottom part, its mostly a part inside the top document (kindof iframe)

there's a little table draw of what my page look like:

+++ +
XXX +

The "+" is my top part, from where my img-buttons are
the "X" is the bottom part where i want to include() the page called by the button

ok, i worry about posting my code coz im kinda noob, but ill do it :s

Here's my button code from the top part:

<td width="58" height="24">
    <a href="#"
	onmouseover="changeImages('go', 'images/go-over.gif'); return true;"
	onmouseout="changeImages('go', 'images/go.gif'); return true;">
<input type="image" name="go" src="images/go.gif" width="58" height="24" border="0" alt="" 
value="search" onSubmit="$_POST">
    </a>
</td>

Here's my include part:

<?php
include('$_Get' +".php");
?>

OK. I see your code now, but I'm still not exactly sure what you're trying to do, or what the problem is. If you're having a problem with your include() statement, I would try changing this:

include('$_Get' +".php");

to something like this:

$link = $_GET['WhateverTheGetVariableNameIs'] + '.php';
include $link;

And I'm also not sure what this does either:

onSubmit="$_POST"

what it does....
ok, my navigation bar is made of image button;

Instead of clicking on a button for relaoding a whole new page,
i want the page loaded into the include.

Thats why i've tried a onSubmit="_post"
The clicked button should post into a var the button link that has been clicked so the include can read that var and then load immediatly the proper page..

sorry if i dont explain that well, its not my primary language

OK. So a user clicks on the image link on the top. You then want to be able to pass the value of which link was selected to an include() function which will then display the page in the lower frame. Is this correct? I'm not familiar with IFRAMEs

I'm not sure if it's possible to do:

onSubmit="$_POST"

Have you tried it before successfully? I can't figure out what this would do. Is it that when clicking on this link, the value will be saved as a $_POST variable? I'm not sure about this, but my guess would be that you can't do this.

Also, if you're using the $POST method, then you can't access the variable using the $GET method (as far as I've seen or know). You would have to pick one method or the other to use.
