Question

I don’t know if it’s possible but below I have a simple html table:

<table id="plus" align="center">
  <tr>
    <th>
    </th>
  </tr>
</table>

If the if statement matches, then is it possible to append the image inside the <th> tag above? And if the statement doesn’t match then can I instead append the image link inside the <th> tag?

Below is the if statement, which is actually jQuery that includes a bit of php to try and find the ‘textQuestion’:

if (qnum == <?php echo (int)$_SESSION['textQuestion']; ?>) {
  <img src="Images/plussigndisabled.jpg" width="30" height="30" alt="Look Up Previous Question" class="plusimage" name="plusbuttonrow"/>
} else {
  <a onclick="return plusbutton();">
  <img src="Images/plussign.jpg" width="30" height="30" alt="Look Up Previous Question" class="plusimage" name="plusbuttonrow"/>
  </a>
}

Answer 1

Since you stated that you are using jQuery you can do this

....
    var enabledImage = "plussign.jpg";
    var disabledImage = "plussigndisabled.jpg";
    var selectedImage;
    var imageHtml;

    if(...) {
        selectedImage = enabledImage;
    } else {
        selectedImage = disabledImage;
    }  

    imageHtml = getImageHtml(selectedImage);
    $('#ElementID').append($(imageHtml));
....

function getImageHtml(imageFileName) {
    return '<img src="Images/' + imageFileName + '" width="30" height="30" alt="Look Up Previous Question" class="plusimage" name="plusbuttonrow"/>';
}
