php in java script

[koushikgattu]

How should i include php file in javascript?

 

<div id="tab_place" align="center"></div>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function(new_container){

new_container.style.display = "block";

if (new_container.id == "tab_place")

      {

  <?php include_once DOC_ROOT."div.php"; ?>

      populateSearchBox('ItemToSearch');

        populate();

}

</script>

 

this is including div.php file ..but not executing the functions populatesearchbox() and populate()?It is displaying the text as it is?(like populateSearchBox('');

        populate(); )

(again div.php file has javascript)

 

can any one help me with this?

 

Thanks

To achieve that sort of thing you'll need to look into AJAX. Try: http://www.ajaxfreaks.com/tutorials.php for a starting point.

 

The basic idea is that you'll make a request to another php page, which will return some text which you'll populate your form input with.

javascript is client-side whereas php is server-side and is actually pre-processed by the server. The client never even see any php, just the outputted results! For what you want try using ajax...

But if try like this..its working..

 

<?php

include_once DOC_ROOT."div.php";

?>

 

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function(new_container){

new_container.style.display = "block";

if (new_container.id == "tab_place") {

populateSearchBox('ItemToSearch');

populateSearchLocation('locationList');

populate();

}

</script>

 

i have put previous div tag in div.php file
