[SOLVED] Button/Link Help

[williwaw]

Hi All,

Is there any way to turn the 'cancel_reply' link into a 'cancel_reply' button instead?

echo '<div id="cancel_reply" style="display:none;"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="movecfm(null,0,1,null);" style="color: #996633;">' . $this->options['cancel_reply'] . '</a></div>';

Thanks for your time in checking this out.

Cheers,

Williwaw

Instead of

 

<input type="text" ...>

 

do <input type="button" or "submit"

[dropfaith]

i would leave it as a link and just style it to look like a button

either works fine 

 

uhm boltz its currently an link so i assume this isnt in a form and avoided using inputs

[BoltZ]

Mine would be easier. Or you could make your image and use it as a link O.o

Why not make it a button like he said?

Change <a> to <button>...  Is there more to it that I'm not seeing?

[BoltZ]

I don't know. It seems like a pretty simple answer...

[williwaw]

I tried a couple different ways with the <button> tag to no avail.

echo '<button href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="movecfm(null,0,1,null);" id="cancel_reply">' . $this->options['cancel_reply'] . '</button>';

and this

echo '<div id="cancel_reply" style="display:none;"><code href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="movecfm(null,0,1,null);">' . $this->options['cancel_reply'] . '</code></div>';

 

I used to be so much better at this before web2.0 with plugins and  other peoples code(OPC)....when I used to have to do it all myself.  Now my brain has just gone to plugin lala land:)

 

Thanks for the help everyone.

So you are done with this problem?

[williwaw]

No, sorry I was at work for the past week.  I am going delve back into it, but I am still open to suggestions.

BoltZ,

Can you elaborate on this a bit.  The part that I am getting stumped on is where to put the href, onclick and the $this.

 

Instead of

 

<input type="text" ...>

 

do <input type="button" or "submit"

 

Thanks for your help.

Do what dropfaith suggested and use <button

Do what dropfaith suggested and use <button

I did do that as in thread:

I tried a couple different ways with the <button> tag to no avail.

echo '<button href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="movecfm(null,0,1,null);" id="cancel_reply">' . $this->options['cancel_reply'] . '</button>';

and this

echo '<div id="cancel_reply" style="display:none;"><code href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="movecfm(null,0,1,null);">' . $this->options['cancel_reply'] . '</code></div>';

Do you have any suggestions on the <button> tag  BoltZ?

I noticed in your first code that you have  echo ' ... then another ' without escaping it.
