Wasn't it easier to test if it'e possible or not instead of waiting for answer from us?
btw, Yes it's possible.

You can execute any client-side script in an event like that.
Unless you are trying to execute a PHP function?

I would have to agree with the others tho... it should only take you like a minute to test that yourself.

Btw, I changed the thread title. Please try to make your titles descriptive. Simply stating something like "onclick" isn't really helpful.

Check out the Posting Guidelines to see what makes a good thread title.

As Atli said: you can run client side functions easily with an onclick event. However, you posted this in the PHP forum, so I'm a little sketchy as to your question. PHP or Javascript?

You can't call server-side code from within client-side code.
The only way to do that would be to either completely reload the page or use AJAX.

Hi
The other option is to have a hidden IFRAME and refresh it with a java script.
It wont be hard

Here's how you can do it:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" >

    function refresh()

    {

        frames['myframe'].location.reload();

    }

</script>
 
</head>
 
<body>

<a onclick="refresh();">Click me</a>

<iframe name="myframe" id="myframe" frameborder="0" src="funcContainer.php" width="50" height="50" style="display:none"></iframe><br />

</body>

When you click on the link the IFRAME refreshes the page which is funcContainer.php

But if you use this code you wont see the ifram. If you want to make sure this code works delete (style="display:none") from the IFRAME tag.

Good luck
