I am writing php program in which at a certain point i need to mix three languages, php, javascript and html in the same line. the output of what im doing is correct but i still get an error on page message in internet explorer.
here is the line of code:

document.write("

(followed by - but less important)
color=#<? echo "$titlefontcolor" ; ?> face=<? echo "$fonttype" ; ?>>Recent Studies:");

the function fgf just opens the linked page in a new window. I know there isnt much code there to play with but i know the problem is just something like missing " or something. the mixture of 3 languages in causing the problems, cause php has " as a special character. anyone have any suggestions on how to make this line of code work ??
"onlick=fgf = window.open('','gf');" - this part is where im guessing the problem arises cause of the two equals signs... any ideas anyone ?

ok first off...if you can put your JS in a .js file, then do it, and call the file in the section by <script src="myscript.js" type="text/javascript" language="Javascript"></script>

Second...instead of <? echo "$fontsize"; ?> you need <? echo $fontsize; ?> or even <?=$fontsize?>, same goes for the rest...and in your php file, you can structure it like this:

<?Php

//some php here

?>
<head>
<title></title>
&lt;script src....&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
etc etc

You dont have to do the document write or any of that by echoing from php...

If you think there are problems with quotes, then escape them...so " becomes \"
