No. Javascript is client side, php is server side. What exactly are you trying to do?

I'm trying to get the attributes of the following div. 

 

<div style="position:absolute; background-image:url("http://");

left:484; top:568;

overflow:auto;background-color:; color: FFFFFF;

height:400; width:300;

font-size:16pt; text-align: center;

font-family:Monotype Corsiva;

border-color:000000;

border-width:6px;

border-style: solid;z-index:2px;

background-repeat:repeat;

background-position:top left;

opacity:1;filter: alpha(opacity=100)"></div>

 

what the best way I should go about this?  I've only been tinkering with php for about 2 months.  thanks

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS... What are you trying to achieve, e.g. where's this text coming from and where's it going?

I am using php to pull information from a website.  I am getting information from all the images and postions of the images.  Now I'm trying to pull the information of this div and list it's style attributes in an array so I can put the information in input boxes. I imagine I could use stristr and strpos to cut out the information, but it seems like there would be a better way to do that.
