I have to thank everybody for helping me and I do appreciate all the help I also take onboard that it is difficult to debug anything you cannot see. So I have included 3 files the HTML with JavaScript in, another HTML with the JavaScript stripped out and (I would not insult Mickey Mouse) a PHP test script to echo back what has been entered. albeit only the first field using "HELLO WORLD".

The objective of the JavaScript is to achieve word-processing style text wraparound upto to a max length (in this case 255 characters, being a nice round computer number and exceeding the maximum single text length of most peoples screens) all simply because HTML does appear to support text wraparound and maximum length (TEXTAREA MAXLENGTH). I have been told some it can and by others it cannot I have even been pointed to the 1x1 pixel trick which I don't really understand.

My goal is to talk clientside to serverside keep users focused instead of just truncating without their knowledge and by doing so keep them on my side and keep my i/o and processing down to a minimum thus avoiding things such as bottleneck and keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible.

Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] Javascript & PHP


really hard to debug this without any code provided. It could be numerous things... Your javascript could be clearing your form data before submit? How do you have the onEvent handles configured for your javascript? Also, there could be things wrong with your server-side logic. Do you have your echo statements wrapped in any logic that are dependent on the request variables? Maybe your echo statements are skipped because something happened to one of the request values? What type of echo statements are you using? Have you tried doing print_r($_POST) or print_r($_REQUEST). Gotta give us something more to run with on this one :)

I have put together an HTML form that uses Javascript which works well. However when I fill it in and fire it off to my PHP script (which for the purpose of testing simply echos what was entered in to the form) it cannot find the entered data; But when I strip out the Javascript and the fields that uses the javascript my PHP script happly echos back what was entered into the form. does anubody know what I am doing wrong??
