Javascript and PHP

[rockinaway]

I have been making a WYSIWYG and I have come across a few problems..

 

When I want to add some predefined text to an iframe I access the innerHTML and pass the content through a function:

 

function preText(text)
{
  stuff_before.innerHtml = text;

}

 

It works for some cases, but then when there are \n and brackets () present in the text I want to predefine, I get all sorts of errors like missing bracket and another weird one.

 

What can I do to stop these from occuring? Would be a PHP function applied before I send it to the function, or Javascript changes?

Any help?

That function seems completely dysfunctional...

 

(text) - text is not a variable, nor a valid argument for a function. You need a variable or an expression there.

 

stuff_before.innerHtml = text

 

stuff_ect. is not a variable, so it cannot be assigned text. text is not in the format of a string, so it cannot be assigned to stuff_etc. even if stuff_etc. was a valid variable. There is apparently nothing valid about this function besides its name, and I have no idea what you what it to do... my best guess is:

 

<?php
function preText($text)
{
    $text = 'stuff_before.innerHtml';
}

 

but even that doesn't make much sense to require the function to have a string of $text provided to it, then turn around and immediately redefine $text...

The reason it's dysfunctional is because its Javascript, not PHP...

 

I'm not sure that PHP and JavaScript are compatible except in regards to where PHP would help with stuff like dynamic variable assigning, so a javascript question might not get answered real fast on this

 board...

Don't worry it is fully functional.. and I fixed my problem. I was just writing it in shorthand in my post.. else it is fully functional..
