Is there a way to fix this?Here is the code that generate the page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><style type="text/css">@import url("sd_style.css");</style><?phprequire ('get_connected.php');if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $sql = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE story_id = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) .

Hi Everyone,I am not that familiar with JavaScript but I am trying to use a script that uses it. I know more PHP than JavaScript. I was hoping someone could assist me.Here is the code I am running: echo" <form action=\"".$forumpath."/login.php\" method=post onsubmit=md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password,vb_login_md5password_utf)> <script type=text/javascript src=\"".$forumpath."/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js\"></script>"; ?><table width="350" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td><font size='2'>User Name</font></td> <td><?php echo "<input name=vb_login_username type=text id=navbar_username onfocus=if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = ''; size=10 />"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "<label for=cb_cookieuser_navbar><input name=cookieuser type=checkbox id=cb_cookieuser_navbar value=1 checked=checked /><font size='2'> Remember Me?</font></label>"; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><font size="2">Password</font></td> <td><?php echo "<input name=vb_login_password type=password size=10 />"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "<input type=submit title=$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register] value=\"Log In\" />"; ?> <td colspan="2"><?php echo " <a href=\"".$forumpath."/register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\" target=\"_parent\"><font size='2'><b>register</b></font></a> "; ?></td> This is the error I am getting when I run IE "JavaScript Error Expecting "(" on Line 9" This only happens in IE but runs and executes in Firefox with no issue.Can someone tell me if there is a way to resolve this?Thank you in advance for your time.SC

Update a record into MySQL with PHP via a form

suttercain posted a topic in PHP

Hi everyone,I have been working on this since 11:00AM and have not yanked my hair out... yet.I tried doing this with a bigger form but could not get it to work. So I went back to square one and decided to to go basic and build from there.I have a form that is being populated from MySQL. When I change any of the values in the form and select submit I would like it to update the record in MySQL. I cannot get this. I have managed to get INSERT and DELETE going okay... but not UPDATE <?php require ('get_connected.php'); $reload= true; if (isset($_POST['title'])) { $title= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']); // Assuming only one row is in the table, otherwise WHERE clause is needed $res= mysql_query("UPDATE TABLE news SET title='$title' WHERE story_id='1'"); $reload= false; } else { $title= ''; } if ($reload) { // Populate the from $hent = mysql_query("SELECT title FROM news WHERE story_id='1'"); while ($vis = mysql_fetch_array($hent)){ $title = $vis['title']; } }?> <form method='post' action="edit_news.php"> <textarea rows="1" cols="40" name="title"><?php echo $title ?></textarea> <input type="hidden" name="story_id" value="<?php echo $story_id; ?>"> <input type='submit' value='submit'></form> Can anyone make any suggestions or lend some adivse?Thank you in advance for your help.

Table Layout

Or you can pay someone to do the work.

Two <form> and <border> questions.

suttercain posted a topic in HTML/XHTML

Hello everyone,I have two questions. One deals with the <form> tag and the other the <border> tag for tables. Question 1:How can I have two input types that go to two different place in a single form? <form action="final_news.php" method="post"><input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"><input type="submit" value="go back" name="go_back"></form> I would like the Submit button to go onto final_news.php, which it does, but I would like the Go Back button to go to a different URL. Is this possible?Question 2:Internet Explorer and Firefox display table borders in two very different ways when running this code <table width="986" border="10" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bordercolor="#000066""> Internet Explorer displays it as a solid color, which is what I want, while Firefox displays it more like an embossed color with 2 different shades. Are there any tags within the <table border> tage I can use to make Firefox display it like Explorer? I tried <border-style="solid> but it didn't work.Thank you in advance for your assistance and suggestions.-SC
