Quote Issue, I think....

[amerar]

Hi All,

I cannot get this stupid Javascript code to embed properly in my PHP.
It does not show the 'select' button. I believe it is my quotes,
maybe Javascript does not like something.......

Anyhow, can someone help me with the syntax?? I'd really appreciate
it. The code works fine in just plain HTML......

echo "<TABLE><TR>\n";
echo " <TD><input type=text name='partydate' size=10 maxlength=10
value='$party_date'>\n";
echo " <script language='javascript'>\n";
echo " <!-- if (!document.layers) {\n";
echo " document.write(\"<input type=button
onclick='popUpCalendar(this, editparty.partydate, \"mm/dd/yyyy\")'
value='select' style='font-size:11px'>\") }\n";
echo " //-->\n";
echo " </script><BR><CENTER><span class=body><B>Party Date</
CENTER>\n";
echo " </TD>\n";
echo "</TABLE>\n";

I'd try using Fiddler (www.fiddlertool.com) or Charles (xk72.com) and
look at the html/js that you're actually generating. I bet when you see
it, the problem will be obvious.

Not sure what the <!-- stuff is for, I never use that.

echo " document.write(\"<input type=button

OK, an escaped double-quote for the document.write ...

onclick='popUpCalendar(this, editparty.partydate, \"mm/dd/yyyy\")'

Haven't you got nested double-quotes here, perhaps you have to escape
them twice?

value='select' style='font-size:11px'>\") }\n";
echo " //-->\n";
echo " </script><BR><CENTER><span class=body><B>Party Date</
CENTER>\n";

echo " </TD>\n";
echo "</TABLE>\n";

Also missing a </tr>.

Why are you embedding the js in PHP anyway?

<input name="partydate" size="10" maxlength="10" value="<?php
echo htmlencode($party_date);
?>">

<input name="partydate" size="10" maxlength="10" value="<?php
echo htmlentities($party_date);
?>">
