are you wanting to know how to write the <div> element? if so; you would do it something like this (so it will work with your code):

 

<div id="dtField"></div>

[paulmo]

this still isn't working; i've tried lots of variations. i need to keep the div id=col2 css:

<div id="col2">
<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF; padding:10px" class="rounded {10px}">
<div id="dtField"></div>

[webster08]

if you change the innerHTML of the "dtField" div; that is all that will be changed. this would not effect the "col2" div or any content within it.

 

if you are having a problem; i would say this would be it:

 

class="rounded {10px}"

 

that is not the way you create a class. you should not have any spacing or characters other then letters and numbers.

[paulmo]

ok, i took out spaces; script still doesn't execute. the rounded corners class is working fine; it's a jquery script.

 

here's the latest; getting

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

also tried assoc...i'm sure more than that is a problem here:

 

$process = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM xxx WHERE MATCH terms AGAINST '%$message%'"); //this is user input which could be 
any string!
$process_results = mysql_query($process);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($process_results))
{ 
echo $process_results['terms']; 
echo " "; 
} 

[webster08]

as i said before the class needs to only have numbers and letters in it; if the brackets is still in there; you will have problems. if this is a jQuery problem; consult there documentation. if this is a php issue; then this thread belongs in the php forum. what exactly are you trying to accomplish, anyway?

[paulmo]

i will explore that bracket situation with jquery rounded corners; i used the documentation.

 

i just want to echo that id=dtField...took out all other js on page, followed example from book. sent e-mail to authors so maybe they'll write back.
