R0bb0b Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work, can you provide some of your html as well?

nicecandy Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 the html code is as follows <body> <div id="mydiv"></div> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/220634-embedding-javascript-in-php/#findComment-1142888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurev Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Bit confusing, since you can use javascript/html/cssinterchangeably in the middle of php files it seems to make no sense to echo out javascript commands, why not just do something like the following: <?php php code here..... ?> <script type='text/javascript'> document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML = 'contents of div.......'; </script> <?php more php code here ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/220634-embedding-javascript-in-php/#findComment-1142891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0bb0b Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 do you echo your javascript before or after the html? The way you have inserted the javascript, not in a function or anything like that, it is going to run right when the browser processes it, so if you have it before your div has been parsed then you will get an undefined object. And Zurev does have a point, I have to assume that this is just a proof of concept type thing.
