Thanks for your tip!
I also move lots of PHP data (HTML really) to JS by using in the :
echo ‘var myhtml=’.$HTML.’;';

Further in JavaScript you can use the myhtml variable.
To be successful, be careful of quotes in $HTML (str_repl them with un backslash.

Hey wenbert, try not using .attr(’style’) but rather use the built-in jQuery css functions!
Your code will mess up style, if you have other style definitions in the tag…

JS:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("tr").click(function() {

  }
});

CSS:

.active { /*highlight class, add a background color, change the border or font color, whatever */
  border: 1px dashed red;
  background-color: green;
}

Comment on Simple CAPTCHA Tutorial with Zend Framework by Wenbert

@Sudarshan, I am not sure. I have not tested this with the layouts. But I am thinking that you need to “disable” layouts for the ImagegeneratorController and its actions because the HTML tags in the Layout will be rendered with the images.

Instead of outputting the image, the Layout interferes with the HTML tags, etc. because the layout is parsed first before the action (the image) is rendered.

So you should put it in JS folder. E.g. web_root/js/.htaccess

Wenbert — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:50:18 +0000

Hi Paulo,

I have not tried this code yet, but it should look something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#id_of_submit_button").click(function() {
        $("#col_manager_list").each(function(){
            $("#col_manager_list option").attr("selected","selected"); });
        $("#id_of_form").submit;
    }) ;
});
