  1. PODropdown list strangely shown out of the table
    text
    copied!<p>I'm having some issues right now with some weird behaviour of my code and can't find the why.</p> <p>I have a table of extensions (phone) which are assigned to a qeue. I get the data by SQL query and then show it in the screen. One of the data shown is Priority which I want to be changed with jquery+ajax via choosing a new one of a dropdown list.</p> <p>So, I managed this code:</p> <pre><code>echo '&lt;table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="30%" id="deletion" bgcolor="#f6f6f6" style="border:1px solid #cccccc;"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Extension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Priority&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;'; while ($datos_extension = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo '&lt;tr id="'.$extension_data['id'].'"&gt;&lt;td&gt;'.$extension_data['extension'].'&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;'.show_priority($datos_extension['priority']).'&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;'; } echo "&lt;/table&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>Now, the function:</p> <pre><code>function show_priority ($priority) { $max_priority = 3; $cont = 1; echo '&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;'; while ($cont &lt;= $max_priority) { echo '&lt;option'; if ($cont == $priority) echo " selected"; echo ' value="'.$cont.'"&gt;'.$cont.'&lt;/option&gt;'; $cont ++; } echo "&lt;/select&gt;"; } </code></pre> <p>But it shows the Dropdowns out of the table... Here is the HTML output:</p> <pre><code>&lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Extension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Priority&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="2"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1002&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="3"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1003&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="4"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1004&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="5"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1005&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="6"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1006&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="7"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1007&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="8"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1008&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option selected value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="9"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1009&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;select name="priority" class="priority"&gt;&lt;option value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option selected value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;tr id="10"&gt;&lt;td&gt;9003&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="delete negative button"&gt;&lt;span class="cross icon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>Do someone knows where it could be the problem?</p>
