Another parse error

[varnco]

I've added a mod to modify how the categories are displayed, so the background is colored and changes as one mouses over.

 

However, I get this error:

 

Parse error: parse error in D:\apache\xampp\htdocs\catalog\includes\header.php on line 55

 

This is a partial section of code in header.php. Line 55 is where the javascript has been added. Did I perhaps interrupt a piece of regular coding my inserting the javascript?

Last time I had a parse error I had a ' missing...

Actually, I don't think so. The was my attempt at bolding the coding that I added, so someone wouldn't have to count the lines.

 

The coding I added (which is line 55) starts directly below the line you mention. This is what I added:

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function menuOver(that) {

that.oldClassName = that.className;

that.className += 'over';

self.status = that.firstChild.href;

}

function menuOut(that) {

if(that.oldClassName) that.className = that.oldClassName;

else that.className = 'menucontent1';

self.status = '';

}

function menuClick(that) {

document.location = get_href(that);

return true;

}

function get_href(node)

{

if (typeof node.href != 'undefined')

get_href.href = node.href;

if (node.childNodes != null)

for (var i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; ++i)

get_href(node.childNodes.item(i));

return (typeof get_href.href != 'undefined') ? get_href.href : '#';

}

</script>

 

Could it be that I have inserted the javascript in between

 

<php?

 

?>

 

and it shouldn't be within the <php? ?> only before or after?

[varnco]

The solution to my issue was that I was putting javascript in the middle of php coding.

 

I simply took it outside of the

 

?>

 

<?php

 

range and it works like a charm!
