xProteuSx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I hope I can make someone understand what the problem is ... its 1 am and I am crashing hard. The whole problem is that this snippet really does not like the <ol type="a"> outside of the 'while' loop. What I am trying to do is, say the array has 4 variables, I would like a., b., c., and d., to appear to the left of the <input type="radio" name="answer" value="' . $value . '"> button(s). Now, I am getting something there, but I am getting 0., 0., 0., and 0. instead of the letters. Please help!!!! Thanks in advance. echo '<center>'; echo '<form action="mark_spec.php">'; echo '<ol type="a">'; while (list($key,$value) = each($answers_array)) { echo '<table width="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td valign="top">'; echo '<li>'; echo '<font size="-1"> <input type="radio" name="answer" value="' . $value . '"></font>'; echo '</td>'; echo '<td valign="top">'; echo '<font size="-1">' . $value . '</font>'; echo '</li>'; echo '</td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '</table>'; } echo '</ol>'; echo '<input type="submit" value="Check Answer">'; echo '</form>'; echo '</center>'; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 that is because type is a deprecated attribute of the ol tag - just give it a class or an id to style it instead. ol should contain li elements NOT TABLES - TABLES ARE FOR TABULAR DATA. on a slightly different point - don't scared of breaking out of php - it can really help you see things better AND improve efficiency... Now - I don't like you html but that is another matter but you code could be written like so <center> <form action="mark_spec.php"> <ol type="a"> <?php while (list($key,$value) = each($answers_array)) { ?> <table width="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <li> <font size="-1"> <input type="radio" name="answer" value="' . $value . '"></font>'; </td> <td valign="top"> <font size="-1"><?php echo $value; ?></font> </li> </td> </tr> </table> <?php } ?> </ol> <input type="submit" value="Check Answer"> </form> </center> Now please go an produce some html that actually means something - I can see wat you are trying to do - suffice to say you are not going the right way about it - have a go at producing VALID and MEANINGFUL markup and then we might be able to help you a little more...
