[SOLVED] onmouseover and php

[contra10]

I'm trying to mix css with php if possible using onmouseover

I'm withdrawing data into a table and when ever a person goes over a specific area I'm trying to change the back ground heres my coding

 

<style type="text/css">

td.off {
background: white;
}

td.on {
background: red;
}

</style>

My php is as follows: 
<?php

$on= "on";
$off= "off";

echo"<td align='center' class='off' onmouseover='this.className=" .$on. "' onmouseout='this.className=" .$off. "'>
?>

and the problem is ?

 

I'll take a shot and say you mean this

echo"<td align='center' class='off' onmouseover='this.className='$on' onmouseout='this.className='$off'>";

i tired that b4 but it didn't work, double quote issue

[MadTechie]

okay was it exactly the same, (did you try mine) explain "didn't work" did the plant explode ?

[contra10]

i copied it exactly

<?php
echo"<td td align='center' class='off' onmouseover='this.className='$on' onmouseout='this.className='$off'> ?>

 

but the mouseover doesn't work, it simply stays the same colour - white.

ahh didn't notice the extra quotes

try this

<?php
echo"<td align='center' class='off' onmouseover='this.className=\"$on\"' onmouseout='this.className=\"$off\"'>";
?>

works, i tried the slashes before but i guess i put an extra one, thanks

[MadTechie]

yeah the mouse over needed an extra one
