Re: [PHP] A two flavored post
i was just working on some stuff and remembered how ive handled a problem
like this in the past.
the issue you have to wrestle w/ is the anchor tag will perform its normal
behavior after the onclick
handler has finished executing. basically, onclick is just part of the
process for the anchor tag.
well, what ive done in the past is determined, its only a link if you think
its a link :) so i just toss some
css on a span tag to make it look like a link, then you get full control
over the onclick behavior.
heres some sample css:
/* anchor imitator */
span.anchorImitator {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif;
font-weight: 400;
color: #1505A5;
text-decoration: none;
}
span.anchorImitator:hover {
cursor:pointer;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif;
font-weight: 400;
color: #AEF3F9;
text-decoration: underline;
}
of course it wont do much w/o javascript enabled.

Re: [PHP] A two flavored post
In addition to what everyone else has suggested you probably also want to
have your page work for people without javascript enabled, or the
handicapped. One way you could do this is have a div and the PHP generates
the div where you would put the link, with code for the link inside with the
PHP variable so you have
--
| abc.com/?a=value |
--
the div wouldn't really have a border, it's just there so you can see it.
Anyway, for those lucky people who have JavaScript enabled you could simply
use JS to change the innerhtml of the div to have the new JS generated link.

Hi gang:
I asked this question on the javascript list, but for some reason
it's taking forever to post there. So, I figured that I would ask
here as well.
I'm currently sending data (the value of s) to another script via the
html statement:
a href=img.php?s=?php echo($value);?Click here/a
However, I need to add another variable, namely a javascript
variable, to the GET string.
How can I send both a php and a javascript variable together at the same
time?
the question is when is the variable you want to append available to the
javascript.
as soon as you get the variable in the javascript the next thing you can
do
is append
it to the value of the href attribute of the a tag.
html
head
script type=text/javascript
window.onload = function() {
var someLinkHref =
document.getElementById('someLink').href;
someLinkHref += anotherVar=8;
alert(someLinkHref);
}
/script
/head
body
a id=someLink href=http://somesite.com?a=5;
click here
/a
/body
/html
if you want to use the onclick event handler as rob suggested, you could
stash the variable in the Window
global object, then reference it in the implementation of the onclick
function (though i still have mixed feelings
about that approach [the Window object part that is]).

ALSO: a href=img.php?i=?php echo($value);? onclick=window.location = this.getAttribute( 'href' ) + 's=' + s; return false; can be altered to be: a href=img.php?i=?php echo($value);? onclick=this.setAttribute(this.getAttribute( 'href') + 's=' + s); What exactly do you need to do, anyways? Maybe there'll be some better way to do this. I'm sure there is a better way. I was just trying to get a user's selection (in an CMS I'm developing) without a refresh. Something like this: http://www.webbytedd.com/c/js-maintain-state/ But ultimately, I was faced with a trade-off. 1) I could use javascript with no refresh, but lose hover; 2) Or, I could use php and maintain hover, but be forced to accept refresh. So, I went back to php and accomplished what I wanted with a *lot* less code. My thinking, the user shouldn't object to a refresh while editing. Thanks for everyone's help.

That's slick.
I solved the problem by using:
a href=img.php?i=?php echo($value);? onclick=window.location =
this.getAttribute( 'href' ) + 's=' + s; return false;
But, I am sure I will be using your's sometime soon.

Why not? I'm guessing because you need to the link to have the
JavaScript variable in it. If this is the case then the href target
should link to a page informing the user that they need to have
JavaScript installed. By doing so you inform them of why clicking on the
link is not having the desired outcome :)

I don't believe that is standards-compliant use of the href attribute.
Also it doesn't degrade gracefully for people who have JavaScript
disabled.

So, I figured that I would ask here as well. I'm currently sending data (the value of s) to another script via the html statement: a href=img.php?s=?php echo($value);?Click here/a However, I need to add another variable, namely a javascript variable, to the GET string. How can I send both a php and a javascript variable together at the same time? Use an onclick= event handler. Cheers, Rob. -- ...
