I have a menu that is derived with CSS and an unorganized list as such: <ul> <li id="li1"><a href="#" id="mainMenu1" accesskey="1" title="" class="menuItem1">1</a></li> <li id="li2"><a href="#" id="mainMenu2" accesskey="2" title="" class="menuItem2">2</a> <ul> <li id="li2a"><a href="#" id="mainMenu2" accesskey="2" title="" class="subMenuItem1">2a</a></li> </ul> </li> <liid="li3"><a href="#" id="mainMenu1" accesskey="3" title="" class="menuItem3">3</a></li> </ul> When a user hovers over li2 , I have hover css for both the list item (li2) and the a link (menuItem2) working fine. For this particular purpose I want to have different CSS attributes for the li and a tags when hovered over. When I hover over menuItem2 down to the sub menu item (subMenuItem2), the css hover attributes applied to the higher level li (li2) stay, but the they disappear for the a link (subMenuItem1) defaulting back to the default a CSS attributes. What do I do in CSS to have the attributes stick for the a tag in this particular situation when hovering over a lower level list item? Thanks

Thanks again for trying to help. Unfortunately, I have issues that I haven't been able to resolve. No errors, I just don't get any data. Using the code above, the numbers represent an actual order number, there is data in the fields, but for some reason I don't get anything back when I trying to use it in a function on the page. I have the exact same code in another part of part of the page tha tis not in a function and it works fine, pulling the data from the tables and displaying it in an echo. The function that I am trying to accomplish the same thing in is to e-mail the same information that echoe's successfully. I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out why I can't get any data. Any ideas?

Thanks! That was very hefpful. Yes, I am using DreamWeaver but only because this particular web app was created 5 years ago in it and has several add-ins. What editor do you recommend. I am usually developing with .net using Visual Studio. Also, if I were to write the following code: $orderID = '45495562754892521062894091'; mysql_select_db($database_mx_shop, $t_shop); $query_rsOrderDetails = sprintf("SELECT * FROM orderdetail_ode WHERE idord_ode = $orderID"); $rsOrderDetails = mysql_query($query_rsOrderDetails, $t_shop); $row_rsOrderDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsOrderDetails); If I have a field named "firstname" in the database "orderdetail" , would I not use the following code to get the value that is in "firstname" for the record with the the primarkey 45495562754892521062894091 ? $firstname = $row_rsOrderDetails['firstname']; Thanks again for the assistance.

In the following code: what do the following basicall do? 1.) $colname_rsOrderDetails = "-1"; 2.) $colname_rsOrderDetails = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['id_ord'] : addslashes($_SESSION['id_ord']); 3.) $query_rsOrderDetails = sprintf("SELECT * FROM orderdetail_ode WHERE idord_ode = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsOrderDetails, "text")); And also what does the %s stand for 4.) %s $colname_rsOrderDetails = "-1"; $_SESSION['id_ord'] = "{id_ord}"; if (isset($_SESSION['id_ord'])) { $colname_rsOrderDetails = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['id_ord'] : addslashes($_SESSION['id_ord']); } mysql_select_db($database_t_shop, $t_shop); $query_rsOrderDetails = sprintf("SELECT * FROM orderdetail_ode WHERE idord_ode = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsOrderDetails, "text")); $rsOrderDetails = mysql_query($query_rsOrderDetails, $mx_shop); or die(mysql_error()); $row_rsOrderDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsOrderDetails);

Using Javascript, how do I do an alert and show the value of a variable? thanks

Thanks for the replies. That cleared up some confusion for me. I still have a problem though. Trying to set a variable = to a value in following way, I can't get access to it in a function for some reason. But I konw the variable has a value because If I echo it outside the function I am trying to call it from I get the correct results on the screen. $colname_rsOrderInformation = "-1"; if (isset($_SESSION['KT_kartOrderId'])) { $colname_rsOrderInformation = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['KT_kartOrderId'] : addslashes($_SESSION['KT_kartOrderId']); } mysql_select_db($database_t_shop, $t_shop); $query_rsOrderInformation = sprintf("SELECT * FROM order_ord WHERE id_ord = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsOrderInformation, "text")); $rsOrderInformation = mysql_query($query_rsOrderInformation, $mx_shop) or die(mysql_error()); $row_rsOrderInformation = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsOrderInformation); $totalRows_rsOrderInformation = mysql_num_rows($rsOrderInformation); $test = $row_rsOrderInformation['email_ord']; //email_ord exists in the table and a value will show up if echoed outside of the function but it won't show up with-in the function. //$test = 'test1'; // If is use this value for the variable, it will show up in the function. function Trigger_SendEmail(&$tNG) { $emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG); $emailObj->setFrom("orders@acme.com"); $emailObj->setTo("{email_ord}"); $emailObj->setCC(""); $emailObj->setBCC(""); $emailObj->setContent($GLOBALS['test']); //Note: I will get a correct value here if $test is set to anything other then the value of a field from the table $emailObj->setEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); $emailObj->setFormat("Text"); $emailObj->setImportance("Normal"); return $emailObj->Execute(); } //end Trigger_SendEmail trigger What am I doing wrong?

I am new to PHP and trying to debug some old code. How am I to read the following: $properties = $GLOBALS['Props']; I am guesisin that it is saying: Create a string variable named $porperties and set it equal to the Global variable of 'Props'. But I assume my interpretation is wrong since I get some weird results.

If I hard code the To address such as a@acme.com into my email function, no problems. But if I try using a variable I get an error. The error doesn't give me any valuable information and is generated from some old code that I never wrote. If I place the same variable such as "a@acme.com" into any other field such as content, subject I get the value for the variable so I know that it isn't null. I have tried all the methods of converting to a string and nothing changes. Any ideas?

What is the best way using php to see if a checkbox is checked or not. I see so many different options out there googling, that I am interested knowing the most robust method. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I am not normally using PHP (.net instead) and so I may be making some wrong assumptions here. This is some rather old code that I didn't write, and I am trying to fix some things that never worked. The existing code updates a record like this: $updRecord_ord->addColumn("firstname_ord", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "firstname_ord"); I can put any single form variable (i.e. lastname_ord, address_ord) in where the second "firstname_ord" is, and I do not have a problem. But if I try to place a variable that has been concenated instad, I get nothing as a result. No error, just nothing. If I have a name in the firstname field of the textbox, the record gets updated with the first name. Here is a sample of the code: $firstname = "firstname_ord". " " . "lastname_ord"; $updRecord_ord->addColumn("firstname_ord", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", $firstname); firstname_ord and lastname_ord are names of textboxes as well as to have matcing names for columns in a MySQL Table. They are in a table as such: <td> input type="text" name="firstname_ord" id="firstname_ord" value="<?php echo ASescapeAttribute($row_rs_ord['firstname_ord']); ?>" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="lastname_ord" id="lastname_ord" value="<?php echo ASescapeAttribute($row_rs_ord['lastname_ord']); ?>" /> </td> </tr>

I normally don't have a problem with concenation, but for some reason I can't get it work in this case. I have two form variables: firstname_ord and lastname_ord. I have tried concenating them several ways, and get nothing afterwards. attempt 1: $lastname = "firstname_ord" . " " . "lastname_ord"; attempt 2: $firstname = "firstname_ord"; $lastname = "lastname_ord"; $fullname = $firstname . " " . $lastname; attempt 3: $fullname = "firstname_ord"; $fullname = $fullname. " " . "lastname_ord"; attempt 4: $fullname = "firstname_ord"; $fullname .="lastname_ord"; attempt 5: $fullname = (string)"firstname_ord"; $fullname .= " "; $fullname .=(string)"lastname_ord";
