Javascript string problem
If I append a string userID value:
interactive.php?userID=EM
...javascript stops working, causing a new window not to open:
However, this works:
interactive.php?userID=99
Do I have to convert the string value in the first case so javascript is able to interpet it?
Thanks,
TonyMontana

I would take it like this, though lord knows I don't do everything the "right" way:
<?php
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
var userID = =$userID;
// rest of your JavaScript
</script>
?>
How are you doing it?

I figured this one out.
Here's the code that didn't work:
<?phpecho \"<a href='javascript:initWindow($userID, 0);'> etc...
?>
And here is a version that does:
<?phpecho \"<a href=\\"javascript:initWindow('$userID', 0);\\"> etc
?>
Those kinds of quote errors are really annoying.
