Call javascript function from php echo href

[anton_1]

Thanks in advance for any help guys

 

<script type="text/javascript">

 

 

function showDialog() { $('#box').fadeIn(250); $('#box').fadeTo(0.5); }

function hideDialog() { $('#box').fadeOut(250); }

 

</script>

 

<?php

   

$strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id={$row['id']}'>$strName</a>";

 

 

?>

here is the correct method.

 

<script type="text/javascript">


function showDialog() { $('#box').fadeIn(250); $('#box').fadeTo(0.5); }
function hideDialog() { $('#box').fadeOut(250); }

</script>

<?php
    
$strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id=" .$row['id']. "'>" .$strName. "</a>";


?>

it should work

[anton_1]

Thanks man. the link is working fine just now I just cant get it to call the onlclick function?

[ZulfadlyAshBurn]

whats the code for your onClick function? if you are using onclick to run a php code directly, its not possible. You would need to use ajax for this.

[anton_1]

do you have an example please?

[trq]

Considering you appear to be using jQuery anyway you should learn how to use it's selectors and avoid placing onClick events in your markup all together.

[anton_1]

I tried using selectors. but was told it was better to use onclick function?

[trq]

I would suggest that who ever told you that didn't know what they where talking about. Selectors are much better as they help separate your code from your markup.

[anton_1]

but even still. how would I trigger an event using this

 

    $strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id={$row['id']}' class='simpledialog'>$strName</a>";

 

 

it doesnt let me use double quotes

 

 

thanks

[trq]

$(function() {
  $('.simpledialog').click(function() {
    $('#box').fadeIn(250).fadeTo(0.5);
  }
});

[anton_1]

but what about the link? it doesnt let me trigger it?

[trq]

What do you mean it doesn't let you trigger it?

[anton_1]

$strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id={$row['id']}' class='simpledialog'>$strName</a>";

 

 

 

$(function() {

  $('.simpledialog').click(function() {

    $('#box').fadeIn(250).fadeTo(0.5);

  }

});

 

 

echoing the class?

[trq]

What?

[ZulfadlyAshBurn]

anton_1, are you trying to use the

$strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id={$row['id']}' class='simpledialog'>$strName</a>";

to fade in an id called box? you are already using the href to link it to another page thus the simpledialog function cannot be used.

[ZulfadlyAshBurn]

anyway, did you use my code?

 

$strLink = "<a href='viewTicket.php?id=" .$row['id']. "'>" .$strName. "</a>";

 

and it looks like you are using mySql for the $row[]
