parse query string in href function?

[Inny]

Im trying to rewrite a link with a href function. I need to parse a query string within it ('+tid')

But all attempts Have falied. The current onclick/ link function

<a href="java script:who_posted();">Who Posted?</a>

is attached to my forums 'replys' number colum in forum veiw' {i have no direct access}

it appears in the staus bar on hover as

<a href="java script:who_posted(428);">Who Posted?</a>

where '428 is the tid (topic id).

I want to write a href link to do this (elsewhere in html) and add the tid of whatever topic
the page is currently on.

see site for clarification (click the 'replies' number next to a title)

http://inny.ipbfree.co m/index.php?showf orum=1

click on any topic, and see a mail href link above. I want to add the who_posted function href there, so that whatever topic your on, the who posted box will work.

code is {no direct access}

<script language='javascript' type="text/javascript">
<!--
    function who_posted(tid)
    {
        window.open("http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t="+tid, "WhoPosted", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,height=300");
    }
//-->
</script>

Im not sure to write the new link to include the extra function of adding the topic id (tid)

i tried a few variations on

<a href="java script:window.open("http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t="+tid, "WhoPosted", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,height=300");>Who Posted?</a>

and i thought it might be the quotes, i tried

<a href="java script:window.open('http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t='+tid, 'WhoPosted', 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,height=300')";>Who Posted?</a>

No joy

then i tried 2 functions

<a href="java script:who_posted(tid);window.open('http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t='+tid, 'WhoPosted', 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,height=300')";>Who Posted?</a>

What am I doing wrong?
please assist?

Ok I tried this but I got page not found

<a href="java script:window.open("http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t='+tid+', "WhoPosted", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,  height=300");>Who Posted?</a>

[hsriat]

[code=javascript]<a href="java script:window.o pen('http://inny.ipbfree.co m/index.php?s=&ac t=Stats&CODE=wh o&t='+tid+', WhoPosted', 'toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes,res izable=yes,widt h=230, height=300');"> Who Posted?</a>[/code]
Be careful while using quotes.

[Inny]

It still gives 'page not found' I dont get it! :(

[Inny]

There appears to be an extra function involved?

<script language='javascript'>
<!--
 function bog_off()
 {
 	var tid = '1143';
 	var fid = '2';
 	
 	opener.location= 'http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?' + 'showtopic=' + tid;
 	self.close();
 }
 //-->
 </script>

[hsriat]

Try this...
[code=javascript]<a href="javascrip t:window.open(' http://inny.ipbfree.co m/index.php?s=&ac t=Stats&CODE=wh o&t='+tid, 'WhoPosted', 'toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes,res izable=yes,widt h=230, height=300');"> Who Posted?</a>[/code]

I made a good mistake in the earlier one, although I was telling you to use quotes carefully.

Unfortunately This is not working either. I just dont understand it, Think it needs to add 'fid' (forum id) aswell, see extra function i found above.

I tried to do that on your website.
Altho I was scared from the snake out there, but what I suggested last time worked fine when I replaced tid with 1066. So I guess the value of tid is not being passed properly.
Type this in your address bar, press enter. It will work.

javascript:window.open("http://inny.ipbfree.com/index.php?s=&act=Stats&CODE=who&t=1066", "WhoPosted", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=230,  height=300");

Try to provide the tid to each link at server side by changing your PHP.

Thanks Mate, but I dont have access to the php.

[hsriat]

Thanks Mate, but I dont have access to the php.

Then how to you get the value of tid?

[Inny]

Thats My Question Exactly, Its only apparent In the status bar When you mouseover the link.

Must be in the php.? When I use the Above in the browser address bar, the window pops up but the main page goes blank with [object] . Thats it.

Dude, you know its sometimes already difficult to interpret problems.
And since you have replied after weeks, it has become more difficult. I have forgotten what I was guiding you to do.

Post your full code, not snippets so that I can look into it and then tell you what's wrong.
