I don't think it does. The source of your document will be:

<a href="javascript:;"onClick='hideAll(); showHideLayers ('s6','','show')'>
test</a>

Unless I've completely misunderstood your question.

the output is:
<a href="javascript:;"onClick='hideAll(); showHideLayers('d2','','show')'>
test</a>

I need it to by <a href="javascript:;" onClick="hideAll();
showHideLayers('d2','','show')"> test</a>

now I can't get out pu of " .. eah..

I have tryed

print '<a href='.'"javascript:;"'.'onClick='.'"hideAll();
showHideLayers('d2','','show')"'.'> test</a>';
then I get error : parse error, unexpected T_STRING ...

Try this:

print "<a href=\"javascript:;\" onClick=\"hideAll();
showHideLayers('d2','','show')\">test</a>";

Notice I've escaped (ie, added \) all the double quotes, except those
around the whole string.

thanx mate!

it worked just fine.. I was trying same thing but wasn't near.. can you
explain why it's works like that?
print "<a href=\"javascript:;\" onClick=\"hideAll();
showHideLayers('d2','','show')\">test</a>";

u start with \ " and finish with \" thought it was like \"somestring"\ ...
its more logical for me.. tag start \ tag ends \ ... hoppe you have time to
explayn so I would need to ask similar qestions...

and thanx again!

No problem.

I'll try... :)

The \ characters are not tags. They are -not- there to 'start' and 'end'
a piece of text. They are there to say that the next character should be
treated as part of the string and not as anything 'special'. So \" means
that the double quote should be outputted.

I hope this helps.

Hello :)

shouldnt that read more like
echo '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="hideAll();
showHideLayers('s6','','show')">test</a>';

much easier to read... why even echo it at all though?

yeah.. why not...

I can't tell you I just use print, becouse echo is like more calling php and
functions etc.. but you are 100% right it's work greate too..
