Echo hyperlink - escape quote issue

chrislead

Hey,

This has been bugging me for quite a while so wondering if anyone has come accross this type of thing before:

My php:

onclick="javascript: window.open(\'current_day.php?day='.$curday.'&month='.$this->activemonth.'&year='.$this->activeyear.'\',\'width=800\')">

Now, this works perfectly in all browsers apart form IE! and it only fails with (,\'width=800\') in place; without this it executes fine, however I want my new window to have a number of properties!

My thoughts are on the way the quote is escaped using the backslash - perhaps this runs as a space in IE? (I have read that spaces cause this to crash also)

Any thoughts much appreciated,

Cheers.

The parameters of the window.open method need to be in quotes. You've escaped the opening quote and a few others.

Yea, I realised that, however I need to contruct it inthis way in order for it to function at all.

The full piece of script is here:

$this->pagelayout .= '<td nowrap class="calday" style="background-color: #'.$tempconf->calendar_today_background_color.'" onmouseover="tdmv(this)" onmouseout="tdtmo(this)" onclick="javascript: window.open(\'current_day.php?day='.$curday.'&month='.$this->activemonth.'&year='.$this->activeyear.'\',\'width=800\')">
'.$curday.'<br />';

You can see why these slashes need to be in place, because the html is being echoed from php.

Thanks again.
