Div not working in PHP

**Jim Weinberg** · 07-30-2012, 04:28 PM

I don't know if this is a PHP problem or an HTML problem.

I have an HTML page that I just converted to PHP. In the original page I had a fade-in/fade-out pop-up box that vwphillips was kind enough to send me. The pop-up box is defined in a DIV and controlled by a javascript routine. It's supposed to show when a form is submitted.

It works fine in the HTML page, but in the PHP page, the pop-up box displays when the page is loaded.

Any ideas?

btw, I made sure the DIV was defined AFTER the closing PHP marker.

If the form submits to the same page and its method is or was GET and the way the javascript determines whether or not the form has been submitted is by looking to see if there is a query string (in javascript called location.search, but can be detected other ways) in the URL, and if the PHP page has one by default, that could be it.

A lot of ifs.

To actually determine the cause for sure, I'd have to see both pages - the one where it works as desired, and the one where it does not.

Okay, here goes:

HTML Code:

Code:

<head>
</style>
<style type="text/css">

  position:absolute;z-Index:101;left:-3000px;top:-3000px;width:430px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<?php include("table_build.php"); ?>

In the HTML version, the PHP file simply fills the rows of the table. In the PHP version, everything is built dynamically.

Hope this helps.

Thought I'd better add a note. I've been playing around with the code and now the DIV no longer displays when the page loads.

The bad news is that the pop-up doesn't work at all now. I've edited the code in my earlier post to reflect the current coding.

Final note: I worked some more with the code and now it works, sort of. I works the first time, but then it stops working. The original code I was sent had a null ("#") value for the Action attribute of the form. My form doesn't.

I think the problem is with the script, so I'm going to close out this thread and reopen the one that started this all.

Thanks to jscheuer1 for his help.
