  • 0

I have created a chess board in php, and put the chess piece according to their order. Everything is working, but I cannot change the color of the king piece when I point the mouse on it and I have to use javascript to prompt a message to user on the details of the chess when the user clicks any of the piece of the chess, here I have to use javaScript to do it. Is there any suggestion, how should I approach. Please refer to my coding below, what should I change or add to get it working.

<html> 
<head> 
<style> 
            th{ 
                width:80px; 
                height:80px; 
            } 
            table{ 
                border: 5px solid #FFBB78; 
                border-collapse:collapse; 
            } 
            td{ 
                width:80px; 
                height:80px; 
            } 
            tr{ 
                width:80px; 
                height:80px;  
            } 
            h1{ 
                color:#6633FF; 
            }

    onmouseover isn’t a tag, it’s an attribute for a tag. onmouseover needs to be a part of the img tag. Changing that one line will get you on track, like this:

    "8,7" => '<img src="chess/wk.gif" onmouseover="changeColor()" id="king" />',);//array ends here
