Hi,

attached a little form with
1) a panel
2) a button : buttonType = btNormal

in the on show of the panel i built a button and on click of this button i send a message with alert.
in the on js onclick of the first button i alert a message.
this is the script:

PHP Code:

class Unit12 extends Page
{
       public $Button1 = null;
       public $Panel1 = null;
       function Button1JSClick($sender, $params)

       {
       $mess  = _("A string from php");
       ?>
       //Add your javascript code here
       alert ("$mess");
       return false;

       <?php

       }

       function Panel1Show($sender, $params)
       {
       $label = _("Continua");
       $mess  = _("A string from php");
echo <<<CODE
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Continua_inc_iscrizioneJSClick()
{
alert ("$mess");
}
</script>


 <button class="Button" type="button" name="Continua_inc_iscrizione" onclick="return Continua_inc_iscrizioneJSClick()" value="btn_continua">
                                              <span class="btn">
                                                  <span class="l"></span>
                                                  <span class="r"></span>
                                                  <span class="t">$label</span>
                                              </span>
                                        </button>
CODE;



       }

}

when i click on the button builted in the panel i got an alert screen with : the correct string,
when i do the same whit the button builted by delphi4php i got $mess.

This is very stupid thing but i am curious about why.
If somebody can spent 5 minut to explain i will be happy.

I think it is pretty simple actually. In the first one you are outputting js but you are writing in php. (You escaped from php and are writing direct to the browser)

To do what you want to do change

PHP Code:

       {
       $mess  = _("A string from php");
       ?>
       //Add your javascript code here
       alert ("$mess");
       return false;

       <?php
       }

to

PHP Code:

       {
       $mess  = _("A string from php");

      echo' alert ("$mess");';
      echo ' return false;';
       }
