Show layer triggered by contact of field

[dcjones]

Hi all,

I need to trigger an event based on the content of a field. i.e

if content of a field is != to "1" show layer.

This is what I have so far.

<?php if ($row_owners['status'] =="1") 
				    echo $row_owners['member_id']; 
				  	else 
					echo "PIN is inactive,<br />
					 contact  PIN support"; ?>
					 <?php if ($row_owners['status'] !="1") 
					  "MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','show')"				 
					 ;?>

				<?php if (empty($row_owners['member_id']))
			  echo "PIN not registered<br />
			  		or inactive";
			  ?>

I have been playing with this for hours, can anyone point me in the right direction.

Not sure why you have a double thing here.. tried to clean it up for you:

<?php 

if ($row_owners['status'] =="1")
  {
   echo $row_owners['member_id'];
  }
else
  {

  if(empty($row_owners['member_id']))
    {
    echo "PIN not registered<br />or inactive";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "
    PIN is inactive,<br />
    contact  PIN support";
    }

// don't understand what this is supposed to do:
MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','show')
  }
?>

Hi and many thanks for your reply.

This part

"MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','show') "

Calls a Javascript function from the head section of the page:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
function MM_showHideLayers() { //v6.0
var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=MM_findObj(args))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible'🙁v=='hide')?'hidden':v; }
obj.visibility=v; }
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So, what I am trying to do is : If the content of "status" is not "1"

call the Javascript function

"MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','show')"



Does this help explain my problem.

Many thanks again

javascript and php live in different worlds (Unless you are working with ajax, where the worlds grow awfully close to eachother)

Php runs on the server. by the time php is done, javascript only starts.

So you need to echo some statement into the HTML (e.g., in a body onload() tag) that triggers the javascript.
