[RESOLVED] Problem with php echo

[rkeppert]

The following code is on my update page, where it allows the user to edit the notes. I can't figure out what I need to do to make this work correctly (it should display a progress bar for the character limit... I am including the original insert page code also for a reference:

Insert Page Code:

<textarea name="notes" cols="142" rows="5" id="notes" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" onClick="highlight(event)" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" onFocus="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" ></textarea>
<div align="left" id="progressbar1" class="progress">  </div>
  <div align="left">
    <script>displaylimit("document.warr.notes","",5000)</script>
    <script>textCounter(document.getElementById("maxcharfield"),"progressbar1",5000)</script>
    </p>
    </div>

Update Page Code:

   echo '<td colspan="5">','<textarea name="notes" id="notes" cols="135" rows="5" maxlength="5000" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" onClick="highlight(event)" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" onFocus="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)" value="'.htmlentities($row['notes'], ENT_QUOTES).'"></textarea>','</td>';   


   echo '<td colspan="5">','<div align="left" id="progressbar1" class="progress">  </div>','</td>';


   echo '<td colspan="5">',' <div align="left"><script>displaylimit("document.update.notes","",5000)</script><script>textCounter(document.getElementById("maxcharfield"),"progressbar1",5000)</script></div>','</td>';

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

its purely a javascript issue

no this is not js issue 🙂
there is problem with quotes on first echo

onKeyUp="textCounter(this,'progressbar1',5000)"

you must escape single quotes like this

onKeyUp="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)"

[NogDog]

Within a single-quoted strings, any literal single quotes must be escaped:

echo '<td colspan="5">','<textarea name="notes" id="notes" cols="135" rows="5" maxlength="5000" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onClick="highlight(event)" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" onFocus="textCounter(this,\'progressbar1\',5000)" value="'.htmlentities($row['notes'], ENT_QUOTES).'"></textarea>','</td>';
