Varible excluding some content

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why a var. when declared the following way:

PHP Code:

---

$head_parameters = 
"<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"javascript\">\n" . 
"<!-- hide from old browsers\n" . 
"function gotowizard() \n" . 
"{ \n" . 
"var simpleform = \"http://www.commission-junction.com/track/track.dll?AID=365409&PID=445343&URL=http://x.moreover.com/images/commjunct/redirect8.html\"\n" . 
"// open the new window\n" . 
"var newwin = window.open(simpleform,\"wizard\",\"status,resizable,scrollbars,width=500,height=550\")\n" . 
"//  newwin.focus()\n" . 
"}\n" . 
"// end hiding -->\n" . 
"</SCRIPT>\n"; 


---

...only prints out:

Quote:

---

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!-- hide from old browsers
function gotowizard()

// end hiding -->
</SCRIPT>

---

Is there something PHP specific in the JS code that I shold be aware of?

Thanks in advance !

nope.

but why don't you make a file headparams.php with the javascript inside (plain, not in php-tags!) and include it in the file, where you need it?

file headparams.php:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!-- hide from old browsers
function gotowizard()
{
var simpleform = "http://www.commission-junction.com/track/track.dll?AID=365409&PID=445343&URL=http://x.moreover.com/images/commjunct/redirect8.html"\
open the new window
var newwin = window.open(simpleform,"wizard","status,resizable,scrollbars,width=500,height=550")
// newwin.focus()
}
// end hiding -->
</SCRIPT>

But... why do you comment out the newwin.focus()?

In the file where you need the headparams, just include:
include('headparams.php');

That should do it.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, since I'm working with templates, I can not use the method you describe. Thanks anyway!

There's no particular reason why I've commented out the focus(). The default code had it commented out, and I haven't changed it.

Anyone else able to spot the error?

When I pasted that code in, it worked fine..

Is it possible that you might have some line that modifies $head_parameters?
