Question

I have the following JavaScript code: Link

In which the function makewindows does not seem to be working.

It does actual create a window, however the html either contains what is quotes, or if I change it to

child1.document.write(json_encode($row2['ARTICLE_DESC'])); 

to create a blank html page.

I moved this function to my main JavaScript file to include because I was getting errors before, but now no HTML is presented in the popupwindow. Is this because I am not retrieving article_Desc in thest3.php?

The other 2 files used are here: link and test3.php

Answer 1

$row2[‘ARTICLE_DESC’] is PHP variable.

It is indeed a php variable, but it is not being rendered as php because it is not enclosed in <?php ?> tags

So, the correct way to do it is:

child1.document.write(<?php echo json_encode($row2['ARTICLE_DESC']); ?>); 

That way, the php, being a server side language, will render the value in $row2 before the page is rendered, so when the page finally gets rendered, that value will be in the javascript write function…as it’s supposed to be.
