passing php variables with javascript?

[dkirkdrei@yahoo.com]

I am trying to open a small new window using javascript and pass a php
variable onto the new window and this is really being a pain. I believe
that this is possible but everything that I have tried so far has not
worked. The relevant code that I am usiing is below. Everything works
like it should except the new window contains nothing. Anyone familiar
with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<?
if ($yes_no == "Y"){
?><td><a href="javascrip t:newwindow('<? print ($aster);?>')"
title='<?echo "$aster"?>'>Not es</a></td><?
} else { ?><td>&nbsp;</td><?
}
?>
</tr>
<?
}
odbc_close($con nect);
?>
<SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
<!--hide
function newwindow()
{
window.open('cu st_parts_notes. php','Notes','w idth=300,height =200,resizable= yes');

}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>

The referenced page 'cust_parts_not es.php' only contains:

<?
echo "$aster";
?>

Thanks, thats getting there. My variable $aster can be many things
depending on its location in the resulted table. With the code that you
suggested, it only echo's the last result in the table. I will have to
do a little tweaking. thanks again.

You could also stored $aster in a session variable and retrieve it with
the page in the new window. See the php doco for a few good examples of
session usage: http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
