I have a calendar created with php. In this calendar I have load_id's listed by date. I made a popup to show more data for each load. I want it to show as a popup not in a new tab. I have tried doing it as a function but as I don't know javascript I could not figure out how to pass the load_id to the url. If I replace "this.href" with the url in a function it works like a charm. But again I don't know how to pass the load id as a variable so that won't work for me. If someone could point out where I made my mistake passing the variable I would be much obliged!
This is what I have now:
echo "<span class='load_shipped'>
<a href='cal_popup.php?load_id=".$load_id."'
onclick='window.open(this.href, '_blank','left=100,top=100,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');'>
".$load_id."
</a>
<br>
</span>
";
I tried this as well to no avail:
echo "<span class='load_shipped'>
<a onclick='popup(".$load_id.");'>".$load_id."</a><br>
</span>
";
Javascript:
<script>
function popup(id){
window.open('cal_popup.php?load_id=id', '_blank','left=100, top=100,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
}
</script>
All this did though was pass 'id' instead of the real load_id.
