Having javascript window popup passing variable to another page

[cjkeane]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to use javascript to pass a variable to another page, but i can't seem to get the coding correct. i'd appreciate some assistance. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code in dreamweaver, however when viewed in a browser, the link doesnt open the editrecord.php page. thank you.

 

echo "<tr>";
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactName'] . '</td>'
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactTelephone'] . '</td>';
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactPosition'] . '</td>';
echo '<td><a href=javascript:OpenPopup("er_editrecord.php?ContactID=' . $result['ContactID'] .')"  >Edit</a></td>';
echo "</tr>";

Your href should have quotes around it + you really should be using an onclick at the least for nice degrading if they don't have JS turned on.

<?php
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactName'] . '</td>'
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactTelephone'] . '</td>';
echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactPosition'] . '</td>';
echo '<td><a href="er_editrecord.php?ContactID=' . $result['ContactID'] . '" onclick="OpenPopup(\'er_editrecord.php?ContactID=' . $result['ContactID'] .'\'); return false;">Edit</a></td>';
echo "</tr>";
