I am a beginner, so keep that in mind.
so what I currently have working is my form successfully adds another input to the form, however it appears out of the form div. Basically I want it to appear within the div and above the submit button.
how do I do this?
here is m开发者_JAVA百科ain appendTo in my javascript:
var i = $('input').size() + 1;
$('a#add').click(function() {
$('<input type="text" value="user' + i + '" />').appendTo('form');
i++;
});
here is the form html as on request.
<div id="stylized" class="myform">
<form name="addstudents" method="post" action="add_students.php">
<div id="formHeader">
<h1>Add student(s)</h1>
<p>Please enter student's HEMIS number</p>
</div>
<label>Student: <span class="small">Enter HEMIS number</span> </label>
<input type='text' name="user_1">
<input type="submit" class="Mybutton" id="mybutton" name="submit" value='Submit Student(s)'>
<div class="spacer"></div>
</form>
<a href="#" id="add">Add</a><a href="#" id="remove">Remove</a></div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
NEW PROBLEM: REMOVING!
here is my current remove JS, it simply removes the submit button first :(
$('a#remove').click(function() {
if(i > 3) {
$('input:last').remove();
i--;
}
});
$('a.reset').click(function() {
while(i > 2) {
$('input:last').remove();
i--;
}
});
Thanks again
You can use this snippet to insert the input before the button:
$('form #idofsubmitbutton').before($('<input type="text" value="user' + i + '" />'))
EDIT:
I played around with jsfiddle.com after your last edit and came upp with this:
var i = $('input').size() + 1;
$('a#add').click(function() {
$('div#stylized form input:submit').before($('<input type="text" value="user' + i + '" />'))
i++;
});
With the example html you posted this works. When I press the add link new inputs appear before the submit button.
If you still got problems you might have elements with duplicate ids.
var i = $('input').size() + 1;
$('a#add').click(function() {
$('<input type="text" value="user' + i + '" />').appendTo('div#divId');
i++;
});
This is not a "PHP form", once it's on the client, it's just HTML/CSS/Javascript. PHP is on the server.
.appendTo('form');
appends to the form TAG, not a "form div". If you have a DIV named "form" you need to use .appendTo('#form');
