dynamic button not working

I am generating a form dynamically through AJAX. The form and the data
come in very nicely, but my reset button doesn't do anything. There are
3 other buttons that call javascript functions - they work fine. Just
the reset button seems to be dead. The form is inserted into a Div
using AJAX. Here are my form details:

<form id="clientform" name="clientform">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td>
<input id="txtCompany" type="text" value="Company
Name" size="65" name="txtCompany"/>
</td>
</tr>

.... some more labels and input text boxes.....

<input id="add" type="button" onclick="addThisClient(1,4);" value="Add" name="add"/>
<input id="update" type="button" onclick="updateThisClient(1,4);" value="Update" name="update"/>
<input id="delete" type="button" onclick="deleteThisClient(1,4);" value="Delete" name="delete"/>
<input type="reset" value="Clear"/>
</table>
</form>

Can you see any reason why the reset button would be dead?

What does this have to do with PHP? And if you're planning to say
something like, "I'm using PHP to generate the HTML and Javascript"
don't even bother -- that's not the right answer.

Because he's looking for answers in the wrong place.

Tomb: please ask again, but in a javascript newsgroup.

It must be difficult being so knowledgeable that you have no tolerance
for someone who is not. What I was looking for was if my PHP code is
not putting something that it should be putting. My thanks to Iván and
Webrickco for steering me in the right direction. They were both very
helpful, whereas your was just snotty.

There was nothing intolerant about his remark, He stated you'd better find
the correct group, and being a regular visitor he quickly added that the
main excuse for posting here a lot of newbies use is not valid, saving him
time to answer that.

This was pure HTML with a little bit of javascript, so validate the html
and if that doesn't work ask in one of the many groups dedicated to it.
This is not rude, this is to keep groups clear and organized. You wouldn't
walk into a butcher's shop en demand he sells you bread, would you?

You might as well ask in a "notepad" forum (or whatever other editor
you use to write the code)!

Regardless of what you are using to output the html, the problem is in
the HTML and NOT in the php, just as the problem in php is not to do
with the editor.

Well excuse us for trying to keep this group a little bit tidy, so people
with actual PHP questions have a place were those can be asked and
answered without to much noise.

Damn, now I've polluted the group the group with an off topic, non-PHP
post. See what you made me do? The irritation! I should not let you get to
me like that....

I think I'll take a break an go out and ask a farmer how to make
cheesecake. He has cows, so he should know, that's what you people seem to
teach me today.

Rik,

I can appreciate wanting to have questions posted to the correct group.
But, my original question was not about javascript, it was about my PHP
outputting a normally functional reset button, and once it is generated
by PHP it no longer functions. Since the HTML for the reset button is
correct, I was thinking that having it generated by PHP in an AJAX
environment disturbs its functionality. I will gladly take this to an
HTML group, but the HTML for the button is as if I entered it directly
into the editor.

If this is not the group for this kind of question, then which one is? I
can't find an AJAX group, and PHP is a major part of my AJAX configuration.

OK, to clarify things: it is IMPOSSIBLE that when the HTML output is the
same hardcoded as generated, their behaviour is different. The browser
does not know how it is created, and doesn't care. So, this has nothing to
do with PHP: there must be a difference in the actual code, find it, or
ask in for instance alt.html or comp.infosystemt.www.authoring.html what's
wrong with the HTML. Be sure to provide an url for those people though,
they really hate to check posted code instead of a handy url.
If this is not the group for this kind of question, then which one is? I

I'd say AJAX is 99,9% javascript, so comp.lang.javascript. The fact that
you generate your output/possible JSON objects with PHP does not matter.

Rik,
Thank you for such an informative and complete response. You actually
led me to the real problem and, yes, it is PHP related. When I capture
the actual response from my PHP script, I see all my quote marks are
escaped with \., which I am doing when I build the response string. I
didn't think they would still be there when it reached my browser. Is
there something I can do in my PHP script prior to returning the HTML
string that will strip those slashes? I tried stripslashed() and
stripcslashes() but they didn't seem to do anything.

I also tried changing my code to single quotes around the entire string,
and double quotes only - no slashes - around the element values, but it
still comes to my browser with the slashes at the double-quotes. ???

Ah, so the problem with the form was an HTML problem. The cause of the
HTML problem is actually faulty PHP-script.

Don't have those slashes in there at all I'd say.

That shouldn't happen, unless you run some code over the response string
by accident. Might wee see an extract of your code?

I verified that magic_quotes_sybase is off, and magic_quotes_gpc is on.
According to the php manual, I should be able to use stripslashes() to
resolve this, but it isn't doing anything. So, I am gladly posting my
code for you to critique. I only included the txtCompany text box for
brevity. Even though I took out all the slashes, they are all there
when it reached my browser.

if($row){
$output = '<table class="clientdata"><tr><td>' . $row['name'] .
'<br />&nbsp;</td></tr>';
$output = $output . '<tr><td><form name="clientform"
id="clientform"><table>';
$output = $output . '<tr><td>Name:</td><td><input
id="txtCompany" name="txtCompany" type="text" size="65" value="' .
$row['name'] . '" /></td></tr>';

$output = $output . '<tr><td colspan="2">';
$output = $output . '<input id="add" name="add" type="button"
value="Add" onClick="addThisClient(' .$row['tid'] . ',' . $row['id'] .
');" />';
$output = $output . '<input id="update" name="update"
type="button" value="Update" onClick="updateThisClient(' .$row['tid'] .
',' . $row['id'] . ');" />';
$output = $output . '<input id="delete" name="delete"
type="button" value="Delete" onClick="deleteThisClient(' .$row['tid'] .
',' . $row['id'] . ');" />';

$output = $output . '<input type="reset" value="Clear"
/></td></tr>';
$output = $output . '</table></form></td></tr></table>';
echo $output;
}

Makes no sense to me, I hope it does to you. Thanks so much for taking
your time on this.

Maybe you're just not used to the way PHP handles escape characters inside
single-quoted and double-quoted strings:

In single-quoted strings, *only* the \' and \\ are escaped.

In double-quoted strings, variables are expanded (i.e. replaced with their
values), and \", \n, \t, \\, \$ and some other escape sequences are
escaped, BUT \' is *NOT*.

an HTML issue, like Rik said.

Next time someone is asking a question in a forum or a groups, you
have 2 solutions:
- You answer the question,
- You don't anwser the question.

If you choose to answer the question, which is noble from you to want
to help other persons, and which is by the way one of the 2 reasons
you are reading groups, you should put arrogance aside, and be
pragmatic in your answer (telling someone to post elsewhere is ok
since you also provide to his answer a trial to an adequate solution).

You will avoid answers like "What does this have to do with PHP? And
if you're planning to say
something like, "I'm using PHP to generate the HTML and Javascript"
don't even bother -- that's not the right answer.". This is NOT
constructive, and a bit insulting.

Respect these principle would have save this whole pointless
conversation, in which, i believe Tom might have think with reason:
"why the hell am i doing here?"

Additionaly and to my own concern, when i ask someone for his opinion
about something i've done, I except a few things:
First, that he respects my work and the principles i'm using to
achieve it. Like i said before there not only one good solution but
plenty of them depending on situations. Second, that the answer given
to my questions are arrogance free, so that i do not feel like a
complete idiot. And finally that the comments and advise that are
given remain as is, and free of subjective argumentation, which means,
avoid things like: "this sucks" or "this is not impressive".

By posting here, i was seeking for professional advise on my work. You
could have answered or not. Someone like Rik Rasmus decided to answer
me, regardless all principle declared before, which shows a complete
disrespect for other people's work. Someone like Rik Rasmus, in my
understanding, doesn't need apologies, and need to present some!

(sorry if i use someone else's post to answer part of my own concerns)

By posting here, i was seeking for professional advise on my work. You
could have answered or not. Someone like Rik Rasmus decided to answer
me, regardless all principle declared before, which shows a complete
disrespect for other people's work. Someone like Rik Rasmus, in my
understanding, doesn't need apologies, and need to present some!
(sorry if i use someone else's post to answer part of my own concerns)

does this have anything to do with my post?

and what does "By posting here, i was seeking for professional advise
on my work.", mean?

Nothing to do with you... only someone had to remind some basic rules
of education should be respected.
By "By posting here, i was seeking for professional advise
on my work." i mean i've put a thread on this group and i felt
insulted by those i was seeking help from, just like Tom felt...

Rik and I were both trying to tell you where you needed to go to get
the answer and all you would do in your arrogance was moan that the
advice wasn't what you wanted.

I think an apology to Rik would be nice.
No need.
Next time someone is asking a question in a forum or a groups, you
have 2 solutions:
- You answer the question,
- You don't anwser the question.
3: You point out a better source on the web to get the question answered
>
If you choose to answer the question, which is noble from you to want
to help other persons, and which is by the way one of the 2 reasons
you are reading groups, you should put arrogance aside, and be
pragmatic in your answer (telling someone to post elsewhere is ok
since you also provide to his answer a trial to an adequate solution).

You will avoid answers like "What does this have to do with PHP? And
if you're planning to say
something like, "I'm using PHP to generate the HTML and Javascript"
don't even bother -- that's not the right answer.". This is NOT
constructive, and a bit insulting.
It might have been accompanied with 'You have better luck finding an
answer in alt.html or comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html'.

Respect these principle would have save this whole pointless
conversation, in which, i believe Tom might have think with reason:
"why the hell am i doing here?"
Additionaly and to my own concern, when i ask someone for his opinion
about something i've done, I except a few things:
First, that he respects my work and the principles i'm using to
achieve it. Like i said before there not only one good solution but
plenty of them depending on situations. Second, that the answer given
to my questions are arrogance free, so that i do not feel like a
complete idiot. And finally that the comments and advise that are
given remain as is, and free of subjective argumentation, which means,
avoid things like: "this sucks" or "this is not impressive".

Oh. But you should really try to respect these groups.

I and others give up a lot of time to try to assist you and others.

Appending a post to a thread and also quoting from my post suggests
that your comment is related to my post.

If you want to get good advice, try to follow nettiquette and general
good manners and help keep these groups clean so that all may benefit.

Anyone can make a mistake. I myself just posted a question on this
group which I should have been able to answer myself.

Making a misake is not a problem. However when helpful folks offer
sound advice about where the poster can get the best advice and
explain why this is not the corrct place, good manners would suggest
being grateful for that advice and not being downright sarcastic and
shooting the messenger.

All too often I see people with very little knowledge asking for
advice and then arguing the toss because the answer was not what they
expected.
