Javascript

[Anon]

Hey,

I have some very very simple javascript which I'm using to popup help windows on my site. However when I enter them into a php script (I should mention that I'm new to php) it screams blue murder and gives me all types of errors. The JS I know for a fact is fine. So any ideas what the problem is ?

Is it like perl where you have to escape all the "" ?

The code I'm using is as follows :

<script type="text/javascript">
function openfeedbackwindow(strURL, pixW, pixH)
{
strLocation = strURL;
strWHandle = "sdcSubWin";
strProps = "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,width=" + pixW + ",height=" + pixH + ",top=15,left=15";
window.open(strLocation, strWHandle, strProps);
}
</script>

Thanks for any help 😉

The solution to your problem is VERY simple.

When coding i PHP the " is reserved for PHP and needs to be ESCAPED by putting a \ before it.

However, i have found a new solution which has worked every time for me. I just use a ' instead of a ". Some people say 16 year olds know nothing... well i worked that out. Here is your new code if you echo it it PHP. (echo just prints html to a page)

<script type='text/javascript'>
function openfeedbackwindow(strURL, pixW, pixH)
{
strLocation = strURL;
strWHandle = 'sdcSubWin';
strProps = 'resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,width=' + pixW + ',height=' + pixH + ',top=15,left=15';
window.open(strLocation, strWHandle, strProps);
}
</script>

so just edit out all the "s and replace them with 's. Hope this has Helped (Give me a good Vote)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply 🙂

I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work. I was getting the same error(s) as I was before.

Any other suggestions ?
