php + list boxes + hilighting

[eva21]

php function:

function Hilight($val1, $val2){

$return = "";

if($val1 == $val2){

$return = " style='background-color:blue'";

}

return($return);

}

 

php code:

$teach = "cat";

echo("<option value='cat'><font " . Hilight("cat",$teach) . ">

cat

</font></option>");

 

This code should make cat hilighted with blue so why does it not work?

Try...

 

function Hilight($val1, $val2){
$return = "";
if($val1 == $val2){
$return = " style='color:blue;'";
}
return($return);
}

php code:
$teach = "cat";
echo("<option value='cat'><span " . Hilight("cat",$teach) . ">
cat 
</span></option>");

Can you post the output here?

It was simply cat...nothing hilighted or background color.

Can you post the source code?

[eva21]

function Hilight($val1, $val2){

$return = "";

if($val1 == $val2){

$return = " style='color:blue;'";

}

return($return);

}

 

 

echo("<option value='cat'><font" . Hilight("cat",$teach) . ">

cat

</font></option>");

I think Masna meant the HTML source code...

[Masna]

function Hilight($val1, $val2){

$return = "";

if($val1 == $val2){

$return = " style='color:blue;'";

}

return($return);

}

 

 

echo("<option value='cat'><font" . Hilight("cat",$teach) . ">

cat

</font></option>");

 

...

 

The HTML source that's outputted. (I guess I had this coming to me.)
