[SOLVED] displaying data from $_GET in input field

[eddie_twoFingers]

Having trouble displaying data in an input field in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Apple Safari browsers but works fine in Firefox and Netscape.

The field is located in the websites shopping cart and gets its data via $_GET method when an item is added to the cart.

Any help as to why it wont display in IE at least would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

<input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" value="
<?php
if (($_GET['loc'] == "lcl") || ($ship_ref == 'lcl'))
{
echo '$'. ($grandTotal = number_format($totalCost, 2, ".", ","));
}
elseif (($_GET['loc'] == "nat") || ($ship_ref == 'nat'))
{
echo '$'. ($grandTotal = number_format($totalCost+4.50, 2, ".", ","));
}
elseif (($_GET['loc'] == "rul") || ($ship_ref == 'rul'))
{
echo '$'. ($grandTotal = number_format($totalCost+6.50, 2, ".", ","));
}
else
{
echo '$'. number_format($totalCost, 2, ".", ",");
} ?>" size="10" class="grandTotal" style="border:0pt none;" readonly />

What does the text in the value attribute look like?  In other words, what is php putting out?  Does it look normal?  Is it malformed?

[eddie_twoFingers]

In FF and Netscape it is normal and displays as it should. In IE and the others, nothing is displayed, no text at all.

[hitman6003]

if you look at the html source (output to the browser), what does it look like...

[eddie_twoFingers]

IE shows <input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" value="$30.90" size="10" class="grandTotal" style="border:0pt none;" readonly />

so its there, I took out  class="grandTotal" style="border:0pt none;" readonly to see if that was it, but no, just displays an empty box in IE

 

FF shows <input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" value="$30.90" size="10" class="grandTotal" style="border:0pt none;" readonly /> and displays the value as expected.

thats not possible, if the only html source is:

 

<input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" value="$30.90" size="10" />

 

it will display... there must be something else going on.

 

 

please post all of the html source

just like what love2hat3 said, its fairly impossible not to display with only such code. please post the html source so that the people can help.

Damn, just found the problem, it was because I had started the php on a new line....

doesnt work:

<input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" [b]value="
<?php[/b]
if (($_GET['loc'] == "lcl") || ($ship_ref == 'lcl'))
{

 

does work:

<input name="grand" type="text" id="grand" [b]value="<?php[/b]
if (($_GET['loc'] == "lcl") || ($ship_ref == 'lcl'))
{

 

someone slap me

 

Thanks for the help, sorry to have troubled you.
