EDIT: Answered by a comment, thank you!
Does < form > not work within php's print?
I've been working through this page, building the pieces I want it to have- my final glitch is that the submit button is not active AT ALL.
I have a page that uses jquery to hide a div that contains information submitted by the user- these are shown when the administrator clicks on the button to show the abstract.
In the div that is hidden, there are two columns- one of which has a super short form- the admin clicks on a radio button to categorize the submitted information. This is where the submit button simply isn't working.
The form shows up, in fact, everything looks exactly as expected. I know the code otherwise works because I tried it by itself on another page- so I'm assuming there's knowledge I do not have and cannot find.
Any advice?
<?php
include('filethatconnectstothedatabase.php');
$conn = new DatabaseConn();
$query = ("
SELECT *
FROM abstracts
WHERE visible=\"1\"
");
$result = mysql_query($query);
$numfields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$data = array();
$flist = array();
for($i=0;$i<$numfields;$i++)$flist[] = mysql_field_name($result,$i);
$data[0] = $flist;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$data[] = $row;
print '
<div id="table-'.$row['abstractid'].'" class="hide">
