Hi

I have a image gallery, in which i for each cell use a script to change the background of the cell, and it works fine as long as i keep it in html.

But i’m converting my gallery to php now, and im getting a problem with the code.

When i echo in php, i use " to enclose the echoed statements, and convert all statements within to use ’ instead of ".

This makes the code to change the cell bg not to react on rollover

Example:

_When i echo this in php, it dosen’t have the rollover. it works fine in plain html:_

> echo “\<td height=‘80’ onmouseover=“this.style.backgroundColor=‘#676c58’;” onmouseout=“this.style.backgroundColor=‘#383b30’;” align=‘center’\>\<a href=‘#’\>\<img src=‘Billeder/Thumbs/tmb05.jpg’ width=‘70’ height=‘70’ border=‘0’ /\>\</a\>\</td\>”

I think it’s a problem with the ’ and the " signs.

Do you have a solution or a work around, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
