Bojak Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"> </script> <script language="javascript"> function toggle() { var element = document.getElementById("textMessage"); var text = document.getElementById("textSwitch"); if(element.style.display == "block") { element.style.display = "none"; text.innerHTML = "show"; } else { element.style.display = "block"; text.innerHTML = "hide"; } } </script> </script> </head> <body> <? $commentMessage = "this would be a test"; $x=1; while ($row = mysql_query($commentMessage) > $x) { echo '<a id="textSwitch" href="javascript:toggle();">show</a>'; echo '<div id="textMessage">' . $commentMessage . '<textarea></textarea></div>'; $x++; } ?> </body> </html> i want this to eventually connect to a database and loop through all the messages but for now i hard coded a message but it isnt working as i had hoped. its posting parts of the script instead of doing an echo. i attached a photo to explain more. if you could explain the issue i would be so thankful.

Bojak Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 i fixed the issue.. it was blank because there was nothing in the database but i wasnt connecting it to a database just yet. next step is to connect to a database and loop it.
