'onmouseover' javascript in .php echo command, is proving troublesome?

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with this code ?

I have a 2d Array defined in an included PHP file as follows :-

/Site #1
$sitename[0][0]="The Site Name";
$bannerlocation[0][0]="banners/468x60_2126.gif";
$bannerdescrition[0][0]="Visit my site!";
$sitelink[0][0]=http://www.mysite.com;


In my main PHP file, I have the following line

echo "<center><a href='".$sitelink[$bantype][$bancode]."'
onmouseover='status=\"Visit .$sitename[$bantype][$bancode]. \"'; return
true' onmouseout='status=\" \"; return true'
target='".$sitename[$bantype][$bancode]."'><img
src='".$bannerlocation[$bantype][$bancode]."' border='0'
alt='".$bannerdescription[$bantype][$bancode]."'></a></center><br>";


This displays the graphic accordingly, and the link also works. HOWEVER,
when placing the mouse over the banner, instead of saying "Visit The Site
Name", it says the href link on the status bar instead, as if the
'onmouseover' javascript never existed ?


Any help much appreciated.


Thanks, Mark

You're missing some quotes ... Did you look at the resulting source ? It
would have showed you the problem

Try this:

echo '<center><a href="' . $sitelink[$bantype][$bancode]. '"
onmouseover="status=\'Visit ' . $sitename[$bantype][$bancode]. '\';
return true;" onmouseout="status=\' \'; return true;" target="'
.. $sitename[$bantype][$bancode] . '"><img src="'
.. $bannerlocation[$bantype][$bancode] . '" border="0" alt="'
.. $bannerdescription[$bantype][$bancode] . '"></a></center><br>';

I would not break the line at "return true". Also use onmouseover=" .... "

This works:

echo "<center><a href='".$sitelink[$bantype][$bancode]."'
onmouseover=\"status='Visit ".$sitename[$bantype][$bancode]." '; return
true\"
onmouseout='status=\" \"; return true'
target='".$sitename[$bantype][$bancode]."'><img
src='".$bannerlocation[$bantype][$bancode]."' border='0'
alt='".$bannerdescription[$bantype][$bancode]."'></a></center><br>";

HTH.
