Question

Not able to call a function onfocus event in php

Answer 1

+1 A:

Well you're messing up with quotes there. I think you're using single quotes everywhere to avoid problems with the double quotes enclosing the string, but then you have this problem:

onfocus= 'areaOnFocus(text1, 'Enter Name')'

the single quote starts the string at areaOnFocus and ends it before Enter name.

You can either play with double quotes spamming like this:

echo "<input value=\"Enter Name\" onfocus=\"areaOnFocus(text1, 'Enter Name')\" onblur=\"areaOnBlur(text1, 'Enter Name')\" type=\"text\" name=\"text1\" id=\"text1\">";

or - better - put the HTML code outside PHP blocks.

Did that, but no luck, strange is that when i run this much code only in separate sample.php file it works.

just to check put it in html code, but still no success.

Are you sure the final HTML generated is correct? Is the `areaOnFocus` function defined? Can you check on a javascript console for errors?

ok this is the whole code: code for js: function areaOnFocus(element, inputText) { //alert(inputText); //alert (element); if(element.value == inputText) { element.value=''; } } function areaOnBlur(element, inputText) { //alert(inputText); //alert (element); if(element.value=='') { element.value = inputText; } } and this one for in php:

contd: echo "<input value=\"Enter Name\" onfocus=\"areaOnFocus(text1, 'Enter Name')\" onblur=\"areaOnBlur(text1, 'Enter Name')\" type=\"text\" name=\"text1\" id=\"text1\">";
