I want to dynamically tell a javascript which <div> to hide, but I dont know how to send the request to the javascript as it is a client side script.
for eg:
<?
$divtohide = "adiv";
?>
<script language="javascript">
function hidediv($divtohide) {
................
}
</script>
Assuming $divtohide actually contains the ID of a <div> element and not a JavaScript variable name, write your JavaScript function as normal:
function hidediv(divtohide) {
// Your code may differ here, mine's just for example
document.getElementById(divtohide).style.display = 'none';
}
And print out the PHP variable only when you're calling it, within a pair of quotes:
hidediv("<?php echo addslashes($divtohide); ?>");
addslashes() ensures that quotes " in the variable are escaped so your JavaScript doesn't break.
as BoltClock wrote, use php to pass the variable.
but you can do it by most simple way, just write hidediv("<?=$divtohide?>")
<script type="text/javascript">
function hidediv() {
divobj = document.getElementById('<?= $divtohide ?>');
divobj.style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
