Insert random <script> for using $(document).ready(function()}); in Joomla
- by Anriëtte Combrink
Hi
I have an article in which I use PHP code inside the text editor in Joomla, in the backend. I can see jQuery already called when the page loads, here is my code inside the Article edit textbox:
<?php
$username="XXX";
$password="XXX";
$database="XXX";
mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database) or die("Unable to select database");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM birthdays ORDER BY name")
or die(mysql_error());
echo "<table width='100%' cellspacing='10' cellpadding='0' border='0'>";
echo "<tr valign='top'><th align='left'></th><th align='left'>Name</th><th align='left'>Email</th><th align='left'>Day</th><th align='left'>Month</th></tr><tr><td> </td></tr>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td valign="top"><a href="#" id="'.$row['id'].'" class="delete_birthday"><img src="administrator/components/com_media/images/remove.png" alt="Delete user" /></a><input type="hidden" name="id[]" value="'.$row['id'].'" /></td>';
echo "<td valign='top' style='border-bottom:1px dotted #333333; padding:2px;'>";
echo $row['name'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td valign='top' style='border-bottom:1px dotted #333333; padding:2px;'>";
echo $row['email'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td align='center' valign='top' style='border-bottom:1px dotted #333333; padding:2px;'>";
echo $row['birthday'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td align='center' valign='top' style='border-bottom:1px dotted #333333; padding:2px;'>";
echo $row['birthmonth'];
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("hello");
});
</script>
At the moment, nothing alerts (just alerting for testing if jQuery gets recognised, I am obviously going to put in click handlers), so I assume the $(document).ready() never gets triggered. I can see the code in the source, but it just never gets called.
Anybody have any advice? BTW. the SC jQuery plugin is installed already to prevent library conflicts.
