I found the easiest way is to use frontpage's interactive button tool to generate the FP_swapimage script or what ever it is called and replace the button images as you wish. You can also make it swap another image by playing with the image id/name tags. Hope that helps. Martin

[i tried: <script> document.write(document.forms['diamond'].elements['colour'].value) </script> Still no luck. in the main body of the page. The page is at www.blood-diamond.co.uk/testbed.php but you have to go to www.blood-diamond.co.uk/shape2.php first and select a shape to pass the post variable. You will see I have used the Yahoo UI sliders to change the form elements values. What I want to do is to get rid of the drop down boxes and just have a string of text saying something like: You have choosen a XXX shape diamond with XXX colour, XXX clarity and XXX carats I thought that maybe if just document write did not work maybe I could use an iframe and a script in the head but I am a bit of a javascript novice so did not know what would work. Any help will be very gratefully received. Martin.

Hi, I want to display the vale from a hidden form element as text in a document. I want it to also change as the value changes with mouseovers etc. This comes from a php generated form so I could do with it all fitting in the <a onmouseover="" part of the page. I tried: document.write(document.forms.myform.myinput.value) but it did not work. I also tried document.getelementbyid("mydiv").innerHTML=document.forms.myform.myinput.value that did not work either I tried all sorts of wierd things. I managed it to alert the value but not write it!! This seems like it should be really easy. Am I missing something in the getting the value part. Please help this is driving me nuts!! Thanks, Martin

Sounds like you need the include() function. in your index.php you have e.g. <?php include('header.php'); include('left.php'); include('main.php'); include('right.php'); include('footer.php'); ?> Setup each page Then in the stylesheet set up an id for the left + right #left { float:left; } #right { float:right; } Then make sure your left and right start and end with <div id="left"> ...</div> When parsed by the server all the bits will be in the correct place.

part of this application requires knowing the root of the host website. I have been using $_server['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will this give my root or the host root? if it will give the host how do I get it to find where it is? Martin

I am trying to make an application which will run on any webpage. I thought inserting the line <?php include('http://www.url'); ?> would work but it didn't. It just errored at me. Any idea what I can do to get the desired result? Thanks, Martin

Thanks thats brilliant.

I am a bit of a beginner with php. I am writting a portable module in php but I need it to determine the webpage's url so it can check against an sql database whether the site is registered. Any ideas how I could do this? is there a php function like geturl() or something?
