Re: is there an alternative to this code?

ok - I'm looking at the code you posted, and I'm following some of it, but not all of it. let me tell you what I am trying to accomplish. I like the code you posted below, but I don't believe I am understanding it well enough to implement it. I have this 'clickable image'. when I click the image I want to reload the same page, but set a variable which will add more items to the menu in the form of an if statement. I tried to solve it with the following code instead of a form (I like they way you are using the link's there - is there a good howto on web variables, and more details on that type of code? - I've looked through what I can find, but doesn't make much sense still) <TD><a href="main.phtml" target="_top" onclick="<? $_SESSION['link'] = 'CS'; ?>"><IMG SRC="images/cs-bttn.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> this code sets the variable evertime the page is loaded instead of just 'onclick' here is my original code as it was originally coded. <?PHP session_start(); ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>DomIntCom Web Access</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" > <TR> <TD><a href="main.phtml" target="_top"><IMG SRC="images/home-bttn.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> <TD> <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="POST"> <input type="image" src="images/cs-bttn.jpg" value="Customer Service" name="CS" > </form> </TD> <TD><IMG src="images/rating-bttn.jpg"></TD> <TD><IMG src="images/batch-bttn.jpg"></TD> <TD><IMG src="images/admin-bttn.jpg"></TD> <TD><a href="logoff.php" target="_top"><IMG src="images/logoff-bttn.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> </TR> <TR> <?PHP IF (isset($_POST['CS'])) { ?> <TD><IMG src="images/green.jpg" border="0"></TD> <TD><a href="cs/ppin.phtml" target="contents"><IMG src="images/ppin.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> <TD><a href="cs/pin.phtml" target="contents"><IMG src="images/pin.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> <TD><a href="cs/pani.phtml" target="contents"><IMG src="images/pani.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> <TD><a href="cs/ani.phtml" target="contents"><IMG src="images/ani.jpg" border="0"></a></TD> <TD><IMG src="images/green.jpg" border="0"></TD> <? unset($_POST['CS']); ?> <? } ?> </TR> </TABLE> <HR> </BODY> </HTML> "Justin French" <justin@indent.com.au> wrote in message news:B9C87F02.134CB%justin@indent.com.au... > Alignment of elements in a table or form is really a HTML/CSS question. > Just to make matters worse, I have problems with aligning in IE, but not > NN... so perhaps there is no way to get it all working... try a HTML or CSS > group. > > Instead of a form, you could just have a clickable image, with any vars you > need in GET, not POST: > > <A HREF="<?=$PHP_SELF?>?<?if($QUERY_STRING){ echo $QUERY_STRING > ."&"}?>myvar=myvalue"><IMG SRC="images/cs-bttn.jpg" > border="0"></a> > > or perhaps what you want in your case is: > > <A HREF="<?=$PHP_SELF?>?<?if($QUERY_STRING){ echo $QUERY_STRING > ."&"}?>CS= > Customer Service"><IMG SRC="images/cs-bttn.jpg" > border="0"></a> > > ???? > > Depends what you want to achieve on the next page. > > > Justin French > > > > > on 08/10/02 11:13 AM, Jeff Bluemel (jeff@domintcom.com) wrote: > > > I would like to do this without using a form... is there a way I can recode > > this? > > > > I have the following table... the button that originates from a form is out > > of alighnment, and sits higher then the rest. how do I solve this? > > > > <TD><a href="main.phtml" target="_top"><IMG > > SRC="images/home-bttn.jpg" > > border="0"></a></TD> > > <TD> > > <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?><?if($QUERY_STRING){ echo"?". > > $QUERY_STRING;}?>" method="POST"> > > <input type="image" src="images/cs-bttn.jpg" value="Customer > > Service" > > name="CS" > > > </form> > > </TD> > > <TD><IMG src="images/rating-bttn.jpg"></TD> > > <TD><IMG src="images/batch-bttn.jpg"></TD> > > <TD><IMG src="images/admin-bttn.jpg"></TD> > > <TD><a href="logoff.php" target="_top"><IMG > > src="images/logoff-bttn.jpg" > > border="0"></a></TD> > > > > -- > > Jeff Bluemel > > > > > > > > -- > > Jeff Bluemel > > office (307) 787-6962 > > cell (307) 780-6962 > > fax (307) 787-6963 > > > > >
