Re: [PHP] A two flavored post

ALSO:

<a href="img.php?i=<?php echo($value);?>" onclick="window.location =
this.getAttribute( 'href' ) + '&s=' + s; return false;">

can be altered to be:

<a href="img.php?i=<?php echo($value);?>"
onclick="this.setAttribute(this.getAttribute( 'href') + '&s=' + s);">

What exactly do you need to do, anyways? Maybe there'll be some better
way to do this.

I'm sure there is a better way.

I was just trying to get a user's selection (in an CMS I'm
developing) without a refresh.

Something like this:

http://www.webbytedd.com/c/js-maintain-state/

But ultimately, I was faced with a trade-off.

1) I could use javascript with no refresh, but lose hover;

2) Or, I could use php and maintain hover, but be forced to accept refresh.

So, I went back to php and accomplished what I wanted with a *lot*
less code. My thinking, the user shouldn't object to a refresh while
editing.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Cheers,

tedd

Rob -- it now works with js turned off. :-)

In addition to what everyone else has suggested you probably also want to
have your page work for people without javascript enabled, or the
handicapped. One way you could do this is have a div and the PHP generates
the div where you would put the link, with code for the link inside with the
PHP variable so you have
----------------------
| abc.com/?a=value |
----------------------
the div wouldn't really have a border, it's just there so you can see it.
Anyway, for those lucky people who have JavaScript enabled you could simply
use JS to change the innerhtml of the div to have the new JS generated link.

i was just working on some stuff and remembered how ive handled a problem
like this in the past.
the issue you have to wrestle w/ is the anchor tag will perform its normal
behavior after the onclick
handler has finished executing. basically, onclick is just part of the
process for the anchor tag.
well, what ive done in the past is determined, its only a link if you think
its a link :) so i just toss some
css on a span tag to make it look like a link, then you get full control
over the onclick behavior.

heres some sample css:

/* anchor imitator */
span.anchorImitator {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif;
font-weight: 400;
color: #1505A5;
text-decoration: none;
}

span.anchorImitator:hover {
cursor:pointer;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif;
font-weight: 400;
color: #AEF3F9;
text-decoration: underline;
}

of course it wont do much w/o javascript enabled.
