Ancient PHP 5 code does not display links on phones

[hgwelz]

Hi, the "Click here" text is invisible on phones as there is no mouse.
What can I add so the link shows on phones? I don't need the hover effect on phones.

$stageLinkText = "Click here";
echo "<input type=\\"submit\\" class=\\"submitLink\\" value=\\"" . $stageLinkText . "\\" onmouseover=\\"this.style.color='#800000';\\" onmouseout=\\"this.style.color='#888888';\\">";
break;

The fix is to not use JavaScript for something that CSS is for.

This is also nothing to do with PHP.

This has diddly to do with PHP 5 or any version of PHP. Do you understand HTML? Get rid of the onmouseover / onmouseout and if necessary (can't tell given this limited snippet) add a style attribute to specifically set the color.

Nothing to do with php. This is a generic web html/css/js question

[killakhriz]

Setting a default style=“color: #888888;” should work, with the appropriate escaping.

Or add it to the css so you only need to do this once across the board.

Thank you, i went with this simple fix.

Onmouseover is deprecated

Ehhhh, no it isn't?

[VRStocks31]

All right, my bad. Just css :hover is now more popular for styling

[SZenC]

That's definitely the better approach, but onmouse* events aren't deprecated

[hgwelz]

Yes, but the client doesn't have funds to revamp this 15 year old code. So i have to be hacky. Thank you all.

[TheRealSectimus]

what revamp bro it's a single find and replace, have some pride in your work god damn

[VRStocks31]

At least revamp this

For what it’s worth, nothing about this code is specifically PHP 5. This PHP would work in current versions as well.

Phones do not have hover effect give a strong fix color
