Javascript?

[Joyce J. Evans webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'm not sure what kind of JavaScript you are referring to or exactly what it is you are trying to do. I have a tutorial for curved navigation with a link to a DW tutorial as well. You can see if this helps. If not please be more specific about what it is you are trying to accomplish.

I guess what I really meant, in a nutshell, is that is there any way to import javascript into Fireworks? I have already created a curved nav bar and want to place a "weather update" javascript on the left hand side...to make it show up on top of the left hand side of the nav bar.

Then no, that's a job best done in Dreamweaver. Other than using an editor (such as Dreamweaver) you'd need to hand code it into the exported HTML file. Fireworks is an image editor. Yes it does export as HTML and includes a few built in behaviors but that's it.

I have a question, and I hope this one hasn't been asked too frequently; if
so, I apologize in advance.

I've heard over time that it isn't a good idea to intermingle JavaScript
with PHP code. Maybe that's a fallacy, and maybe not, but if so, would
someone care to enlighten me as to why this might be the case?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Well, you can't intermingle the two, since they won't run on the same machine
anyway.

What you can do is output Javascript source code from PHP for execution by the
browser.

What you shouldn't do is _rely_ on that Javascript to do anything, such as
validation or filling in fields, since you don't have any control over the
remote environment.

It just gets really confusing, that's all. Slashes can get totally out of
control when you have Javascript code sitting inside a PHP string. Here's an
extreme case:

echo "var re = new RegExp('\\\\\\\\', 'g');";

All the thing does is look for one backslash.

A viable solution in a case like this is to use single-quotes instead
of double-quotes:

echo 'var re = new RegExp('\\', 'g');';

Single-quotes do not parse things like variables or special characters
(i.e. \n, \r, \\, etc).

wouldn't this be more correct?:

<?php
$bleh = 'var re = new RegExp(\'\\', \'g\');';
echo $bleh
?>

HTH,
Best regards,

My apologies, I actually meant to use double-quotes inside of the
single quotes. My shift key doesn't always work, and I don't always
notice. :-)
