Question

I’m trying to use the jquery ui dialog box to output an iframe. It doesn’t seem to be working for me. I think I am making a syntax mistake somewhere- probably with quotation marks in the iframe. Any help would be much appreciated.

<a href='' onclick=\"open_course_article('$userid','$title', 'remove', '$sel_course');\">Remove from Course</a>

   function open_course_article(userid,article,option,course) {
        $('<iframe src="article_course.php?option="+option+"&userid="+userid+"&course="+course+"&article="+escape(article)"/>').dialog({
        title: 'Add Article',
        width: 600,
        height: 400,
        modal: true,
        }).width(570).height(370);
     }

Answer 1

You are mixing single quotes with double quotes for enclosing a string, which does not work in programming.

$('<iframe src="article_course.php?option="+option+"&userid="+userid+"&course="+course+"&article="+escape(article)"
 />')

should be something more like:

$('<iframe src="article_course.php?option='+option+'&userid='+userid+'&course='+course+'&article='+escape(article)+'"
 />')
