php show hide like js

[jackdack]

just wondering if there's a way in php to show/hide some html, ie on mouse over or click for html to appear on screen i.e. it's already loaded but not displayed(it's possible in Javascript)

thanks

no there isn't, javascript is your best bet

Just remeber, that whatever you write in php it is done on the server, not on the user's computer. So if you want to get something from user he has to display the page once more.

Javascript, however, is processed by the browser, therefore mouse/keyboard can affect it.

Hope this cleares the matter for you.

thanks for detail

i discovered css may take care of this issue

[mcibor]

css is not perfect, as there are many browsers that don't support it
Therefore I recommend using
onMouseOver, onMouseOut and onClick
