Passing PHP variable to Javascript dynammically added textbox - php

Question

i have a javascript function like this:
function addfamily(divName){
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = '<input type="text" name="family[]" size="16">';
document.getElementById(divName).appendChild(newdiv);
}
which dynamically adds textbox to the form and a php script like this:
<?php
$result_family = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM family_member where login_id='$_SESSION[id]'");
$num_rows_family = mysql_num_rows($result_family);
if ($num_rows_family>0) {
while($row_family = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_family)){
echo "<script language=javascript>addfamily('family');</script>";
}
}
having this code the textboxes are added fine.
i just need to know how can i set a dynamic value as the textbox value by passing the php variable $row_family[name] to the function and the value of the textbox???
please help

Answer 1

Since you want to pass the name of the Div along with $row_family['name'] your javascript function should look like
function addfamily(divName,familyName){
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='family[]' size='16' value=" + familyName + ">";
document.getElementById(divName).appendChild(newdiv);
}
and then the call from PHP should be like
echo "addfamily('family',$row_family['name']);";
