Calling Javascript Function from PHP

[Styles2304]

I'm populating a form and, in the process, trying to show/hide certain divs based on whether or not certain radio buttons are marked as checked.

 

Am I missing something that is causing the toggleDisplay code being called by the PHP to not execute?

 

<input type="radio" name="Mil_Status" value="ETS" onclick="toggleDisplay('show', 'Mil_FromTo', 'main'); toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Serving', 'main'); toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Discharge', 'main');" <?php if ($Mil_Status == 'ETS') { echo 'Checked'; ?>> <?php echo "<script type='text/javascript'>toggleDisplay('show', 'Mil_FromTo', 'main'); toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Serving', 'main'); toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Discharge', 'main');</script>"; } ?> ETS or Retired <br>

Your input tag is never closed. And I don't know how you want that function to trigger, so this is the best I can do.

Yes it is, look closely. Right after "checked", I close the php tag and then close the input tag. I'm trying to trigger the function right there . . . that's what I'm asking for help with. The function is defined in a seperate file and loaded in the head but I don't know how to trigger it.

Only if $Mil_Status == 'ETS' . Otherwise the closing tag is not output (it is inside the curley brackets for the if statement).

 

All the best

At the very bottom of your output, immediately before the closing </html> tag, do

echo "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>";
echo "    toggleDisplay('show', 'Mil_FromTo', 'main');";
echo "    toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Serving', 'main');"; 
echo "    toggleDisplay('hide', 'Mil_Discharge', 'main');";
echo "</script>";

or whatever variants you need
