use <TD> as link

Boby · 08-03-2004, 06:08 PM

Hi!

If I use this:

PHP Code:



... 
print '<TD><A href="getit.php?id=1">Click Me</a></TD>'; 
...

everything works fine. The file getit.php, gets the id and writes whats on that row in the database. Now I want to use the hole <TD> as a link, I think there should be something with onClick, but what?

PHP Code:



... 
print '<TD onClick="WHAT_COMES_HERE??">Click Me<TD>'; 
...

Thank you!

Boby

something like this?

onClick="window.location.href='getit.php?id=1'"

It's not working

I forgot to say...I'm using a frame too, the link sends an URL and the file getit.php writes there the text from a DB that coresponds to the URL.
I want this <TD> that's a link to sent it to the getit.php file that's in a frame.

Used like I use it now with a normal link it's like this:

PHP Code:



... 
<TD align="right" valign="top" rowspan="2"> 
<iframe name="MAIN" width=470px height=300px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 
frameborder=1 scrolling=no></iframe> 
</TD> 
 
<TD> 
print '<A target="MAIN" href="getit.php?id=1">Click Me</a>'; 
</TD>

So the onClick should have something that makes the target to the frame [i guess].

Thank you!

to make it work with frames do it like this:

onClick="JavaScript

arent.<some_frame>.location='firstlink.php';parent.<some_second_frame>.location ='secondlink.php';"

add as many links as you want to change the content of multiple frames with one click.

for you this should work:

onClick="JavaScript

arent.MAIN.location='getit.php?id=1';" (is suppose it should open in MAIN)

I would use the replace() method like :

PHP Code:



<TD> 
print "<A target=\"MAIN\" href=\"#\" onClick=\"parent.location.replace('getit.php?id=1');\">Click Me</a>"; 
</TD>

this was not supposed to be a emoticon

I got it

<TD onClick='parent.frames.MAIN.location.href="getit.php?id=2";'>
Click Me
</TD>

But thanks guys for trying to help me!

THANKS! YOU RULE!
I had a similar question where i wanted to change two links simultaneously.

<a href="somesite.html" target="AFrameName" onClick="parent.frames.AnotherFrameName.location.href='someothersite.htm'""> click here </a>

where AFrameName and AnotherFrameName are the two frames i needed to change

I'd rather do that like that

Code:

<a href="#" onClick="parent.frames.AFrameName.location.href='somesite.html';\
parent.frames.AnotherFrameName.location.href='someothersite.htm'"> click here </a>

since some browsers ingnore the html part of the link if a javascript is specified (i.e. the somesite.html isn't loaded in your example).

in fact, that is also a better way because you can change any number of frames simultaneously rather than just two. I realized this after I posted. Thanks for your help.
