[RESOLVED] echo javascript command

fearfx

Ok I have this block of code below...

<?php

$links = array("Home", "Products", "Deals", "Services");


echo "<script language=\"text/JavaScript\">\n";


echo "   gallery=new virtualpaginate("virtualpage4", 1)\n";

foreach ($links as $key => $link)
{
	echo "gallery.buildpagination("galleryalt", [\"$key\,"])";
}

echo "</script>\n";

?>

I am trying to echo a javascript command but I don't think I did it right.
I want the echoed result to look like this block of code...

<script type="text/javascript">
var gallery=new virtualpaginate("virtualpage4", 1)
gallery.buildpagination("galleryalt", ["Home", "Products", "Deals", "Services"])
</script>

Help is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks PHP Builder!

Maybe like this

<?php

$links = array("Home", "Products", "Deals", "Services");


$html = "<script language=\"text/JavaScript\">\n";


$html .= "   gallery=new virtualpaginate(\"virtualpage4\", 1)\n";

$html .= "gallery.buildpagination(\"galleryalt\", [";

foreach ($links as $key => $link)
{
	$html .= "\"".$link."\",";
}

$html = rtrim($html , ","); //trim extra comma

$html .=  "])\n";

$html .= "</script>\n";

echo $html;
?>

fearfx

ok actually this is what it outputs....

<script type="text/javascript">
var gallery=new virtualpaginate("virtualpage4", 1)
gallery.buildpagination("galleryalt", ["Home", "Products", "Deals", "Services"])
</script>

why does is show script type=

I want it to say script language=

???

"language=" is deprecated, now you have to use type="text/javascript"

OK I understand, but when I run my application the javascript doesn't execute, any reason why?

I mean when I look at the page source it looks right but the browser isn't executing?
