question about openForm()

[datactrl]

Hi,
Using IE 6
I found it will fail to open a page.php with openForm() method. To open a
page.htm with openForm() works fine. Is there way to work arround? Thank you
in advance!

Sorry mistake!
The method should be window.showModa lDialog() not openForm().

Sorry it does work. window.showModa lDialog() can open a php page.

The way you serve your pages has no _direct_ impact on the way the client
supports, parses or executes client-side script. PHP simply generates an HTML
document which may or may not contain client-side script. Once that HTML
arrives at the browser it is parsed and the client-side script is (if no errors
are encountered) executed.

Usually the biggest problem with client-side script in programmically generated
HTML is quote mismatches and/or newlines where there shouldn't be any. The
easiest thing to do to trouble shoot a problem like this is to look at the
Javascript console (javascript: typed in the address bar of Gecko-based
browsers or double-click the yellow ! - if there is one - in the lower left
corner of IE) and determine if any client-side errors are occurring. Then View
-> Source of the output produced by the PHP and ensure the client-side script
is correct. Most often you'll find something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
var a = this is a string of text;
</script>

because you did something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
var a = <?php $somevar ?>;
</script>

Without an example of your code, I can't tell you precisely what you are doing
wrong, but simply using PHP to generate the HTML will not affect Internet
Explorer's ability to use window.showModa lDialog() (which is *only* work in
Internet Explorer).
