New Window Problem

[ianru]

I have a problem, I need to make a link to go to a new window and that window needs to be customized. I know how to do it in a simple HTML page with Javascript. I can customize teh window size/toolbar and the other parts of the window, now the problem is in here:

echo "<p>";
echo "<a href='profile.php?id=$user_id'>":
echo $username;
echo "</a>";
echo "</p>\n";

If i were to add the javascript to that, i wouldn't have enough quotes to go around for everything, and i really need to figure out how to do this with the same style with just editing the a href with an onClick command.

I'v tried variouse javascrips but none of them seemed to work, after failing to do this I came to here and here I am asking for help.

If anything is unclear at all please ask.

Thx in advance!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, ianru!

If I understand you correctly, you just need to escape the extra quotation marks.

indeed i do, the problem is, it doesn't seem to escape! Every time i try to escape them, the JS stops working :(

Thx for the welcome

What language are you scripting in?

[ianru]

php, forgot to mention that, sorry

echo "<a href='profile.php?id=$user_id'>":

Have you tried something like this?:

echo "<a href=\"profile.php?id=$user_id\" onclick=\"yourFunction('profile.php?id=$user_id','whatever');return false;\">":

You can use double quotes as usual by escaping them with the backslash \ character, and use the single quotes for the Javascript function.
