Question

I have a php site. I have a flat file for reading selections to dynamially build up a menu. Only problem I now have is that the link to load the next page does not work.

echo "<tr><td>$chunk[2]</td><td>$chunk[3]</td><td><a href= \"$chunk[4]\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"input\" value=\"View Details\"/></a></td></tr>";

The line above does not display too well in here, so i have cut it down into 5 lines below. In my code though it is all on one line. [just pointing this out]

echo "<tr><td>$chunk[2]</td>";  
echo "<td>$chunk[3]</td><td>";
echo "<a href= \"$chunk[4]\">";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" class=\"input\" value=\"View Details\"/>";
echo "</a></td></tr>";

My text file is:

dogs|animals|shelter|owner|dog1.php

I have since removed the following line, whihc resolved the issue

 <input type=\"submit\" class=\"input\" value=\"View Details\"/>

I have other buttons on the site which for consistency, I would like to keep the same.
Any idea why IE does not like this, or is there a way to fix this?

my CSS:

.input:hover { background: #D8A96E; }
.input:active { color:#D8A96E; }
.input {
    border: 1px #48561D;
    border-style:inset;
    background: #778E30;
    width: 100px;
    color: #FFFFFF } 

Answer 1

Do you imply that this works in other browsers? I would be surprised.

For a quick fix, change the <a> tag into a <form> tag, like this:

...
echo "<form action=\"$chunk[4]\">";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" class=\"input\" value=\"View Details\"/>";
echo "</form></td></tr>";
...
