is this query string correct

[deansaddigh]

Im trying to pass course id to another page, but its not working and im getting lost in all the dots and " and '

 

echo '<a href="list_courses.php?id='.$row['course_id'].'"><p>'. $row['type']. ' :'.$row['course_name'].'</a></p><hr />';

do you get any error messages?

[deansaddigh]

No but it doesnt do anything. its in a box that expands and i think that might be conflicting because when you click it, it closes the box

 

Heres the page

right at the bottom

The html is being produced invalidly, so this may help

 

echo '<a href="list_courses.php?id='.$row['course_id'].'"><p>'. $row['type']. ' :'.$row['course_name'].'</p></a><hr />';

 

personally I prefer to use sprintf to build strings from pieces, or here use printf.

I just find it easier to read

printf("<a href=\"list_courses.php?id=%d\"><p>%s:%s</p></a><hr>",$row['course_id'],$row['type'],$row['course_name']);

I see thanks for your help.

 

Unfortunately its still just closing the box even with your revisions, i believe its because its within

<div id="caja">';

 

which is what i am using so the box expands to display all the courses related to that school

 

and i beleive this bit of functionality,

 

$("#mostrar").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$("#caja").slideToggle();
});

$("#caja a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$("#caja").slideUp();
});
});

 

uses any link within the caja div make the box expand.

 

Which is fine if i have normal text init but because im using a link it takes the expand function.

 

Do you know a way i can get around this?

 

I hope that made some sense

[jl5501]

Yes I see what you mean.

 

If I were you I would assign an id to the X link and only let the jquery grab that id, then the others would be free to behave normally

Thanks for your advice, would it be possible to show me at all?

As im not sure how i could do it?

If thats ok i dont mean to be cheeky, im just very unsure

[deansaddigh]

Its ok i have done it and what you said worked perfectly.

 

Thanks very much for your help.
