hi.. a somewhat php/jscript question....... i have the following onclick that works... --------------------------------------------------------- <div id="cms-edit-button"><a href="#" onclick="cms_focus ('cms-edit', 1); cms_focus ('cms-properties', 1); cms_focus ('cms-state', 99); this.blur (); return false">Account</a></div> i'd like to be able to have the jscript run if i have a query var foo. basically, i'd like a way of running the same jscript that gets run during the onClick, when i select a php function... ie, if i finish a pprocess, i'd like to set the appropriate page to display. i thought i could do something like the following: <? if ($_GET['tmp']) { echo " <script language=\"javascript\"> alert('mmmmmmmm'); cms_focus ('cms-edit', 1); </script> "; echo " <script language=\"javascript\"> cms_focus ('cms-properties', 1); </script> "; echo " <script language=\"javascript\"> cms_focus ('cms-state', 99); </script> "; echo " <script language=\"javascript\"> return false; </script> "; } ?> my hope was that this would effectively simulate the running of the jscript.. but it didn't seem to work. the tabs/screens don't change, which indicates that the jscript is not running as i thought it would.... the above php/jscript is being called after the jscript cms_focus routine has been created. in the above sample, i discovered that if i placed all 3 cms_focus calls in the same <script></script> block, only the 1st one seemed to run... however, even with this, while it appears that each cms_focus call is being made, there's still not apparent change in the display. the actual cms_focus routine is listed below. all it really does is to set the focus of the given div/id the given section/id of 99 is set to be a block display, with the rest set to be unseen. any ideas/help would be useful.. i'm pretty sure i'm running into a simple problem.. this should be doable. if you need me to, i can supply the entire test php page, as it's not too long. also, if you need additional clarification, let me know.. this might be somewhat jumbled. thanks -bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx test cms_focus function <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function cms_focus (element, index) { e = document.getElementById (element);
