Hey Jerry. You really should be able to copy/paste here (sorry about your arthritis). Maybe try a different browser?

Is this the entire code you're using?

<?php 
print "Click to call JS function (MyJsFnct)";
?>

Hi Jerry,

 

I did not see this earlier but here's an example of accessing a JavaScript function from within PHP...

 

First, the function - note that it has a built-in fadeout so the redirection takes 5 seconds whilst fading - it also uses jQuery:

function redirect()

    {

     $('#fadeout_area').fadeOut(5000);

     setTimeout(function() {

       window.location.replace('./index.php?p=whatever');

    }, 5000);

    }

now the PHP invocation of the JS function:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">', 'redirect();', '</script>';

Hope it helps.

 

Cheers from Oz.
