howdy all my aim is to have a user submit a form and then from there replace cell colours with in a table. I'm referencing the cells by cell id's eg <tr> <td height="10" bgcolor=<? echo $bg; ?> id="ph1"><font size="-2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1</font> </td> <td height="10" bgcolor=<? echo $bg; ?> id="ph2"><font size="-2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2</font> </td> <td height="10" bgcolor=<? echo $bg; ?> id="ph3"><font size="-2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3</font> </td> <td height="10" bgcolor=<? echo $bg; ?> id="ph4"><font size="-2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">4</font> </td> </tr> now using a switch statement eg switch( $bg ) { case "red": print( "#FF0000" ); break; //a few more colours in here default: print( "#FFFFFF" ); break; } what would be the best way to tell it what cell colours to replace on submit would it be an if, for or a do/while statement that would be the better option ( or any others that 4 that matter) if i wanted to have just the cells with the ids of ph2 & ph3 to be changed?
