I copied and pasted your original code in my editor and it broke all over the place with the syntax highlighting I have. That is a big sign your code is not developed properly. Not even the basic HTML. I'd suggest getting yourself aquatinted with basic HTML structure first, then continue with any front or back end languages like learn how to get the value of fields vs. a TD and how to pass them to functions. How to echo php vars into javascript vars, etc. Got to learn to crawl before you can walk as they say. :) GL, Karl ROFL -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

We are not getting paid to listen to your problems. It is out of respect for the open source community that we all do this. That being said, there is an amount of etiquette you will have to learn on your own or by people not wanting to help you as a newbie poster here. I know this because on my very first post I got practically yelled at. It will get better with time if you learn how to listen and how to take the approach of not asking every time you have a problem, but more so research the heck out of your problem first and do as much as you can on your own. Ever heard of the teddy bear technique? The other thing about building web pages is the fact that it is basically a language your learning. So like me trying to ask directions in spanish, you may not get very far if you don't learn the basics of the languages people speak here IE: PHP, HTML, etc...

There are plenty of people that want to spends hours and hours with your PHP problems if they get paid. Second, the amount of questions on this list you ask are higher than average. Third, you have been given quite a lot tips on how to learn PHP better, how to learn other things, including tips on how to make it easier for us to answer your questions by providing better information your questions. But somehow you seem to ignore those. My third point is maybe the most important one. We all try to help, but if the person asking questions does not take the effort to make it easier for the ones that help (voluntary!), it's not worth the effort. You might have noticed that I simply ignore the questions you ask, because of this. - Matijn

Ethan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Ethan, A few suggestions to you at this point. From your post, I myself can tell your HTML is wrong. Fix your html to show the correct way. Then make sure your javascript and PHP are separated correctly according to language standards and how they are to be sectioned within the HTML. Then try the previous suggested work arounds and if those don't work, then submit a shortened version of your post. Once people see that your going to go along to get along, they may be more app to help you with your issues. No one really cares about what you know or what degree you have outside web development. Your here asking for help with things you obviously DO NOT have a degree in. The people here really do want to help you, believe it or not. But they are not going to help tout your ego or continue to butt heads with a stubborn person. They'll just let it alone and let you fend for yourself. Just a suggestion, all sarcasm aside.
