SahDu Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hey there. So I have just run into an issue which I believe was caused by an upgrade to the host I've been using. What used to occur is I had a bullet list of URL's and, once the URL was clicked, the information for that specific link would open on the same page as a subpage (in the example below, the main page is "houseproblems.php" and the subpage is "houseproblems.php?report"). However, as of recently, nothing opens when the link is clicked i.e. no subpage is displayed. Below is the code I've been using. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Let me know if I was unclear or could elaborate more. Thanks!

realjumper Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I would say that this 'link' is your problem....'<a href="houseproblems.php?report">'......because that's not a link that the browser will understand. I'm not sure what you expect the part '?report' to do, neither is the browser.....so it does nothing Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114560-drop-down-from-link/#findComment-589080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SahDu Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 What confuses me is that, this all used to work until about a week ago. Any suggestion on how to fix it? Thanks!

realjumper Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Where do you expect this link to go to? <a href="houseproblems.php?report">Report a Problem</a> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114560-drop-down-from-link/#findComment-589093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SahDu Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Previously it had been opening everything below this line: <?php if(isset($report)) {?> Essentially everything below that was collapsed and clicking the link would "uncollapse" it.

realjumper Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Change this: <li><a href="houseproblems.php?report">Report a Problem</a></li> <?php if(isset($report)) {?> to this: <li><a href="houseproblems.php">Report a Problem</a></li> <?php if(isset($Report)) {?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114560-drop-down-from-link/#findComment-589127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SahDu Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 The idea of the anchor is correct. I am attempting to make it expand from the current page that I'm on (meaning, the URL of the page that this link occurs on is "houseproblems.php" and I want to open a subsection of that.) I tried both listed above and clicking the link simply reloads the page. Sorry if I was unclear before. Thanks!
