please help with code

str77

Hi,
im having trouble adding a link to a image.
I can get the image, I can get the link but I cant get both at the same time.

he is the code I have

<? if($TeamLocalScore01 != '') {echo "<td width='50' valign='middle' align='center' background='../images/nhl_logo86/Result.gif' <a href='/Archives/2013-2014-RegularSeason/QNHL8-$Game01.html'>FINAL</a>"; }?>

I want the script to add a background image and then have the Text FINAL appear over the image ( Final will be the link to another page)

what am I doing wrong in my code
thanks for your help 🙂

Well, for one thing you're using antiquated HTML attributes to do your styling instead of CSS. For another, you're trying to put an <a> element inside the opening tag of a <td> element.

<? if($TeamLocalScore01 != '') {echo "<td width='50' valign='middle' align='center' background='../images/nhl_logo86/Result.gif' </td><a href='/Archives/2013-2014-RegularSeason/QNHL8-$Game01.html'>FINAL</a>"; }?>

just adding a </td> made it work but I did look into the css and I did this

#BoxscoreDiv {
height:29px;
width:50px;
background-image: url(../images/nhl_logo86/Result.gif);
background-position:center;
background-size:auto;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:29px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;

}

<? if($TeamLocalScore02 != '') {echo "<div id='BoxscoreDiv' </div><a href='/Archives/2013-2014-RegularSeason/QNHL8-$Game02.html'>FINAL</a>"; }?>

seems to be doing what I want 🙂

thanks for the help and pointing me in a good direction

is what I did with css ok ?

The css, possibly, but your html markup is screwed up and invalid. See http://validator.w3.org for validation of html code. For example
[hmtl]
<td>...</td><a>...</a>

Can never ever ever be ok, since td is only allowed to appear inside a tr element, which in turn can never contain any other children than td or th.
