Is this possible?

Can you use javascript to activate a php function like so:
$tab="Tab.gif";
function myfunction($txt)
{
$tab = $txt;
echo($tab);
}

?>

"
STYLE="background-image: url(/images/ > )"

I'm trying to dynamically change the tab button when the when the user
mouse over the tab.

this site has the nav in a module.

any suggestions please....

Yes, it's possible, but not in the way that you are thinking. You
should try looking into AJAX.

php executes on the server. javascript (etc.) executes in the browser on the
client's pc. this is strickly a javascript endeavor. however, here's how i'd
think about it...


mResetSrc="/images/"
onmouseover="this.style.backgroundImage = url(this.mOverSrc);"
onmouseout="this.style.backgroundImage = url(this.mResetSrc);"

something like that allows you to set the images in php yet toggle them on
the client using javascript. i haven't checked the above, so there may be
syntax type problems. it's more or less, just to help you think about it in
another way.

cheers.

of course you'd want to add in:

style="background-image:url(/images/);"

so that the default image is displayed in the div when the page loads.

I really don't see why people keep pointing out that php is server
side and javascript is client-side, is if that makes it impossible to
implement. JSP is server-side as well, and you can embed JSP scriplets
and what not into javascript just fine. Just because code is server
side doesn't mean it has to execute on the first pass (which seems to
be what php does) .... i.e if I wanted to do something like this in
JSP it would work just like you would expect.





Not that I'm saying you should switch to Java webapps especially since
webhosts charge too much to run JBoss, Tomcat, etc and Java Struts or
JSF is much harder to learn and implement. But .....

Because Java Server Pages are Java - and have absolutely NOTHING to do
with JavaScript (except for the letters "J", "a", "v" and "a".

If you knew that, you wouldn't be posting this crap.

But that's exactly what you are saying. Even though you don't know crap.

My new ISP's newsserver sucks. Anyone recommend a good one? Paying for =

You claim it is a _good_ idea to use it if you control the server?

For this look to Javascript. Search in google "javascript image
preload".
