The following works fine in html

Code Select Expand

<script>replaceTextarea(
            'contents'                  //textarea id
            , '100%'                   //width
            , '200px'                   //height
            ,'/rich-textarea-53'        //html directory
            ,'/rich-textarea-53.css'                //style sheet file
            )</script>

However when using echo ' it throws up errors

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

This error is for everything within ' '

any ideas please?

is your script like this:

echo '<script>replaceTextarea(
            'contents'                  //textarea id
            , '100%'                   //width
            , '200px'                   //height
            ,'/rich-textarea-53'        //html directory
            ,'/rich-textarea-53.css'                //style sheet file
            )</script>';
?
you will have to use double quotes for either your echo or javascript's arguments.


echo "<script>replaceTextarea(
            'contents'                  //textarea id
            , '100%'                   //width
            , '200px'                   //height
            ,'/rich-textarea-53'        //html directory
            ,'/rich-textarea-53.css'                //style sheet file
            )</script>";

Thanks Saleh but this was remedied by escaping the \'

[Saleh]

well of course, that's another solution
