How to display html in javascript without canceling out specific tags?

**Sydpix** · 04-26-2008, 05:58 PM

I am using a javascript mouse over. The inner content displays html but I have to cancel out specific tags and ' with a \.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I could do an SSI through javascript that would allow me to include any HTML ?

For instance:

Instead of this mess:

Code:

<img src="images/barn_2_draft.gif" alt="#" title="The Gable" width="115" height="86"
onmouseover=
"Tip('&lt;div id=\'box_1\'&gt;&lt;img src=images/Barns/barn_2.gif width=145 height=110 &gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div id=\'box_2\'&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gable features &lt;\/strong&gt;a standard 6\' tall wall and an over sized top plate for additional overhang. With its classic styling this building offers a great balance between tall walls and a lower overall height.<br \/><br \/><br \/>&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div id=\'box_3\'&gt;&lt;img src=images/Barns/barn_1.gif width=145 height=110 &gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div id=\'box_4\'&gt;The six foot sidewall building offers maximum storage on walls and overhead. This building is the most cubic foot building for the dollar. You can never go wrong with a tall sidewall barn. We also offer optional lofting and shelving to help maximize your space.&lt;\/div&gt;', HEIGHT, 125, WIDTH, 380, TITLE, 'The Gable', TITLEFONTSIZE, '13pt', FADEIN, 200, FADEOUT, 300, CLOSEBTN, true,  STICKY, true)"
onmouseout="UnTip()" />

With something a little easier like this with an included HTML page:

Code:

<img src="images/barn_2_draft.gif" alt="#" title="The Gable" width="115" height="86"
onmouseover=
"Tip('<?php include("includes\/1.htm"); ?>;', HEIGHT, 125, WIDTH, 380, TITLE, 'The Gable', TITLEFONTSIZE, '13pt', FADEIN, 200, FADEOUT, 300, CLOSEBTN, true,  STICKY, true)"
onmouseout="UnTip()" />

The problem, I think, is parsing the HTML through javascript?

Not using an include but this thread may help

earlier in the thread are ASP and PHP functions to do the same kind of thing

Thanks for that Chris.

What I think I need is something like this
http://us3.php.net/preg_replace

I'm trying to cancel the need for the cancel if that makes any sense? I would like to use ANY html inside and php include. Is this possible without converting to php?

With this, I can print php but I have to format html to print properly.

Code:

<img src="images/barn_2_draft.gif" alt="#" title="The Gable" width="115" height="86"
onmouseover="Tip('<?php print("Can gophers really code PHP?");?>', HEIGHT, 125, WIDTH, 380, TITLE, 'The Gable', TITLEFONTSIZE, '13pt', FADEIN, 200, FADEOUT, 300, CLOSEBTN, true,  STICKY, true)" 
onmouseout="UnTip()" />

Would that link you posted allow me to do this?

<--- I would like to put ANY html in here--->

Code:

<img src="images/barn_2_draft.gif" alt="#" title="The Gable" width="115" height="86"
onmouseover="Tip('<?php print("<--- I would like to put ANY html in here--->");?>', HEIGHT, 125, WIDTH, 380, TITLE, 'The Gable', TITLEFONTSIZE, '13pt', FADEIN, 200, FADEOUT, 300, CLOSEBTN, true,  STICKY, true)" 
onmouseout="UnTip()" />
