how do you assign php to a row value in javascript

[RJ2001]

How can I make the tempInput.value set to the php echo statement. I am storing each value in a session, but when I do it this way or using setAttribute(), it only places the php statement directly in the input box.

This is the code I am using:

 
function HDonCallReport_addCallsRecieved()
{
     var tbody = document.getElementById('CallsReceived').getElementsByTagName("TBODY")[0];
     var row = document.createElement("TR"); // create a new table row
     var td = new Array(4); // counting the table we made there are 8 cells per table row
     var tempSelect;
     var tempInput;
     var rownum = tbody.rows.length; // not +1 because we have a header row
 
     // Create Time select box
     td[0] = document.createElement("TD"); // create a td element     
     tempInput = document.createElement("INPUT"); // create an input
     tempInput.name = "Time_" + rownum; // name the input
     tempInput.id = "Time_" + rownum; // give an id to the input
     tempInput.size = 20; // set the size of the input
     tempInput.value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['Time_']); ?>";
     tempInput.onblur = "validateTimePicker(this)";
     td[0].appendChild(tempInput); // add the select box to the table cell
 
     // Create Location input
     td[1] = document.createElement("TD"); // create a table cell
     tempInput = document.createElement("INPUT"); // create an input
     tempInput.name = "Location_" + rownum; // name the input
     tempInput.id = "Location_" + rownum; // give an id to the input
     tempInput.size = 30; // set the size of the input
     td[1].appendChild(tempInput); // add the input to the table cell
 
     // Create Who Called input
     td[2] = document.createElement("TD");
     tempInput = document.createElement("INPUT");
     tempInput.name = "WhoCalled_" + rownum;
     tempInput.id = "WhoCalled_" + rownum;
     tempInput.size = 30;
     td[2].appendChild(tempInput);
 
     // Create Response input
     td[3] = document.createElement("TD");
     tempInput = document.createElement("textarea");
     tempInput.name = "Response_" + rownum;
     tempInput.id = "Response_" + rownum; 
     tempInput.rows = 2;
     tempInput.cols = 30;
     td[3].appendChild(tempInput);
 
 
     // Append each cell to the row we created row
     for(i=0; i<4; i++)
         row.appendChild(td[i]);
     // Append row to table so that it appears on screen
     tbody.appendChild(row);
 
     // Increment the number of Code rows
     document.CallsReceived.CodeCount1.value = parseInt(document.witness.CodeCount1.value) + 1;
}
 
 

and this is what I want

[HTML]
<td >
<input id="Time_1" name="Time_1" size="20" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_POST['Time_1']); ?>" onblur="validateTimePicker(this)" />
<img src="gif/timepicker.gif" align="top" onclick="selectTime(this,Time_1);" STYLE="cursor:hand" />
</td>
[/HTML]

Heya, RJ. Welcome (back) to TSDN!

Fixed an... embarrassing typo in your thread title ~_^

Is your Javascript stored in a separate file?

Try passing the value as a parameter to your HDonCallReport_addCallsRecieved() function:

<input ... onsomething="HDonCallReport_addCallsRecieved('<?php echo $_POST['Time_']; ?>');" />
 

And then modify your HDonCallReport_addCallsRecieved() function:

function HDonCallReport_addCallsRecieved( newValue )
{
    .
    .
    .
    tempInput.value = newValue;
    .
    .
    .
}

Thanks for the corection maybe I should of done a spell check on the heading.

But I have already tried passing it the string, I even created the string within the external .js file with var and it still just posts the expression to the input field.

Heya, RJ.

.js files are generally not parsed by PHP.

By passing the value as a parameter to the function, the goal is to set up the JavaScript so that we are using a variable in the main HTML page so that the PHP does get processed.
