thanks Mr Adam. I didnt alter the png fix, i just made the buttons jpg instead, which worked fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. been stuck on this for about a week :'(

mmmm, i think not. how did you come to that conclusion? if i remove all styling, the text link is visible and underlined, but just not clickable?

heres the source from the output, looks ok to me! <div class='briefdesc'> <div class='desc_title'> <p class='title_text'>Senior Project Accountant - Cyprus</p> <p class='title_text'>Permanent</p> </div> <div class='desc_details'> <table> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Location: </td> <td class='detail_text'>Limassol, Cyprus </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Salary: </td> <td class='detail_text'>£70,000 - £110,000 </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Contract: </td> <td class='detail_text'>Permanent </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class='desc_more'> <a class='viewvacbut' href='view_vacancy_details.php?vacancy_id=MT 1001-13'><img class='no_marg' src='images/more_btn.png' /></a> </div> </div>

Heres the code thats displaying a div and link depending on how many rows in the db. this works in ie7/ie8 all firefox versions, safari, everythign except the dreaded ie6. thanks in advance1 <div id="search_main_text"> <?php include("includes/db_connect.inc.php"); $query= $filter; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); mysql_close(); $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $vacancy_id = mysql_result($result,$i,'vacancy_id'); $job_title = mysql_result($result,$i,'job_title'); $salary = mysql_result($result,$i,'salary'); $location = mysql_result($result,$i,'location'); $terms = mysql_result($result,$i,'terms'); echo " <div class='briefdesc'> <div class='desc_title'> <p class='title_text'>$job_title</p> <p class='title_text'>$terms</p> </div> <div class='desc_details'> <table> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Location: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$location </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Salary: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$salary </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Contract: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$terms </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class='desc_more'> <a class='viewvacbut' href='view_vacancy_details.php?vacancy_id=$vacancy_id'><img class='no_marg' src='images/more_btn.png' /></a> </div> </div> "; $i++; } ?> </div> </div>

try putting the variable in quotes, like below? <? echo "$number1"; ?>

Ive tried this without any variables. So this code is just dynamically displaying a link? why am i finding this difficult? surely im missing something really simple?

once your happy with the users login details, add the username to global variable: $_SESSION['username'] = $username; and then display it as you would any other variable: <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> Any good to ya?

Hi Ive got some php code thats dynamically generating a div with a link inside. For some reason the link is not clickable in ie6. Is this right or have i done something wrong? PHP Code: <div class='briefdesc'> <div class='desc_title'> <p class='title_text'>$job_title</p> <p class='title_text'>$terms</p> </div> <div class='desc_details'> <table> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Location: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$location </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Salary: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$salary </td> </tr> <tr> <td class='detail_text'>Contract: </td> <td class='detail_text'>$terms </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class='desc_more'> <a class='viewvacbut' href='view_vacancy_details.php?vacancy_id=$vacancy_id'><img class='no_marg' src='images/more_btn.png' /></a> </div> </div> so the link to view_vacancy_details.php is not clickable in ie6. Your thoughts. Should this work?
