Add Form Elements Dynamically

May 28, 2006

Code:
Is this something that is better suited for Javascript/DHTML or AJAX? I have not been able to find any tutorials on how to do this. Can anyone give any suggestions? I am very new to both Javascript, and of course AJAX, since with out Javascript there is no AJAX.

JQuery :: Get Form Elements Added Dynamically To Be Included In The Form?

Oct 13, 2010

I have a grid that I'm adding rows to that include form text input boxes using addRowData. I know I can use the "editable:true" for that but I'd rather not at this time. Anyway I have the <div id=list1></div> surrounded by a <form></form>. Also statically I have a couple of text input boxes and a submit button. When I press the submit button the only parameters that show up in the POSTED data are the static ones. Is there a way to get the form elements "registered" with the form? I know I can always use javascript to extract the data and save it via an ajax call, but if there is a way to do it "correctly"

Example
var myRow = {id:"0",call:"<input name='callt"+boxNo+"' id='call"+boxNo+"' class='calls' type='text'/>",amount:"<input name='amt"+boxNo+"' id='amt"+boxNo+"' type='text' value='"+defaultDep+"'/>",residual:"",calculate:"<input type='button' class='buttons' id='b"+boxNo+"'/>"};
$("#list1").addRowData(boxNo,myRow);

Dynamically Created Form Elements Not Recognized By Request.Form?

Oct 21, 2010

I'm working with a form that has both static and dynamic form elements (add textbox, etc), and while I can access the static elements via request.form, the dynamic elements cannot be accessed. I have the dynamic elements appended within a div that lies within a table.

Here is the javascript:

Code:

function add3<%=strGoalCount%><%=strObjCount%>() {
var foo = document.getElementById('fooBar<%=strGoalCount%><%=strObjCount%>');
var numi = document.getElementById('theValue');
var num = (document.getElementById('theValue').value -1)+ 2;

[Code]....

Add Form Elements Dynamically?

Feb 15, 2012

The code below will add new form elements when ever I click the add button. However when you add more elements the combo box element goes out of alignment.

multientry.js
function addValue(divname){
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = "<BR><INPUT TYPE='text' name='index1'>";

I have form elements which dynamically generated like this...

<form name="formA" ...>
<input type="select" name="text_1" ...>
<input type="select" name="text_2" ...>
<input type="select" name="text_3" ...>

</form>

And I doing some validation like this.
function checkvalue()
{
var f = document.forms['formA'];
var eLen = f.elements.length;
for (var i=0; i<eLen; i++) {
if(f.elements[i].name == "text_" + i)
{ alert ( f.elements[i].name); }
else { alert (f.elements[i].name); }
}

JQuery :: Add Group Of Form Elements Dynamically?

Jul 28, 2010

I'm building a custom component in Joomla. All the Jquery up till now is working just fine.

I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong keywords or what, but I'm not having much success finding a way to make the following happen:

I have a form that asks for a bunch of information. First it's name, etc... Then it asks for vehicle information: The code for that is this:

<table class="rsmformtable contentpaneopen">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<div class="rsmformtablediv">

[Code].....

So, what I want to happen is that there is an add vehicle link or button so that when someone hits it, it allows them to add in another vehicle. Of course it should also add some index to the id's of all the inputs as I will use the post data to add the vehicles to a database.

Now at first I thought I had found a solution, that works a little bit. But then when the PHP comes into effect things break.

Also, this is an aside: the truck vin row is controlled by jquery now. If the plan type selected is for a truck, it will show that row, if it's not then that row is hidden. I'm pretty sure I'll need to build a loop in the Jquery script that will allow that hide and show feature to work based on the index added to the truck row.

in my searching, the only thing I've really been able to find is that I might have to use AJAX, but that's not something I familiar with just yet.

JQuery :: Dynamically Creating New Form Elements?

Aug 20, 2010

I have form that asks a simple question: "How many XYZs do you want to create?" Then, for every XYZ, it should create several new labels/inputs in the form.

That is, every XYZ looks like this:
<div id="xyz">
<label>Whatever</label>
<input> blah blah blah </input
</div>

I looked into .each() and .live(), but I can't wrap my mind around how to do this.

JQuery :: Dynamically Adding Form Elements

Jun 1, 2010

It works perfectly but I need to add more fields than stated in the post. If I add in another field, only one field gets the increment. The other doesn't. Eg.

<form id="myForm" method="get" action="test.php">
<div id="input1" style="margin-bottom:4px;" class="clonedInput">
Name: <input type="text" name="name1">
Tel: <input type="text" name="tel1">
</div>

JQuery :: Dynamically Add And Remove Form Elements?

Aug 21, 2011

I am trying to insert and remove form element dynamically. What I was doing was some sort of recipe program where a user can prefer to add for elements as he/she is done inputting a recipe. He/She can also remove the ingredient if he/she opts to. Here is the link: [URL]

I already solved the problem but I am not sure if what I did is an efficient one. The thing I did was clone the first child of the form. But I realized that if I would put text inside the first child of the for, the duplicate field will also contain the same text as the first child which I don't want to happen. This is why, I set the display of the first child of the form as none. I am not sure if this would cause some problem when I would submit the whole form so that the inputs will be saved in the database since the first child is empty. I was thinking that as the form will be submitted, I would just remove the first child.

Dynamically Adding Form Elements Does Not Work Properly In Firefox?

Mar 10, 2010

Im using a JavaScript function to dynamically add rows of user-input data to a form, but Im having problems getting it to work properly with Firefox (works well in IE, though). We are using Struts 1.3 and JSPs, if that makes a difference.

The JavaScript function seems to work initially because the newly added row will show up on the JSP after the user enters their data and clicks a button that uses an onclick event to call the function. However, when I submit the form the new elements dont get included in the request. The result is that when I use the following code in my Struts Action Class to get all the parameter names submitted in the request, I dont receive the new form elements that were added by the JavaScript function and I cant process those newly added records:

Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames();

Here is the JavaScript code for the function that I call to dynamically add rows of data to the form.

function addData(tableId, distBedsCode, empCode, fte) {
var tbl = document.getElementById(tableId);
//grab how many rows are in the table
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;

[Code].....

Ive tried using hiddenElem.setAttribute(name,) at the end of the above code, instead of something like hiddenElem.name = , but that didnt work. There is just some difference between the way Firefox handles things and the way IE handles them

Dynamically Creates Page (form) Elements With The Option To Remove It

Feb 15, 2010

I have a function that dynamically creates page (form) elements with the option to remove it.

Code:
divcounter++;
var element = document.createElement("input");
...
element.onclick = function() {removeElement('sel' + String(divcounter))};
[Code]...

For some reason divNum in removeElement() always returns the latest value of divcounter. So if I add 4 form elements, and I want to remove the 2nd item, item 4 is removed and above fuction returns an error when I want to remove another element afterwards because it is trying to remove the 4th element again.

Dynamically Add Elements With Javascript?

Nov 13, 2006

I'm adding people to a database. People have a first name, last name,
and a undetermined number of Cities and States with which they can be
associated. I've got a drop down box that I would like to use to
display the number of inputs to allow for city/state entry. I would
like to dynamically increase or decrease the inputs based on a user
changing the selection in the drop down box, without submitting the
script. Only the first city and state are required (which is why the
label is bold). Any ideas on the best way to handle this without
losing any potential city information that may have been previously
typed into the input (i.e. if I type San Fran into city0 and CA into
state0 and then change the number of cities to 4 - I'd like San Fran
and CA to still be populated in city0 and state0). Code:

JQuery :: Adding Div Elements Dynamically

Nov 10, 2011

I have the following bit of code:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var url='http://search.twitter.com/search.json?callback=?&q=test';
jQuery.getJSON(url,function(json){
jQuery.each(json.results,function(i,reviewa){
[Code]...

I'm baiscally trying to get some twitter feeds and the rotate them. I can get it and everything like that but for some reason the jQuery doesn't pick up the divs that I appended to the container because when I alert the div.length like this: alert(divs.length); The result is always zero. The code works fine if I can populate that value but if I don't have it in the code before hand it doesn't work. However if I add a div to the container like this:

Dynamically Add Elements (TextNode And DropDown Box)

Dec 15, 2009

This block for adding a text box works:
Code:
var secondCell = row.insertCell(1);
var el2 = document.createElement('input');
el2.type = 'text';
el2.name = 'ProjMemFName' + i;
el2.id = 'ProjMemFName' + i;
el2.size = 20;
el2.maxlength = 25;
secondCell.appendChild(el2);

But this block for adding a dropdown box isn't
Code:
var firstCell = row.insertCell(0);
var el1 = document.createElement('option');
t1=document.createTextNode("DBA");
el1.appendChild(t1);
el1.name = 'ProjMemTitle' + i;
el1.id = 'ProjMemTitle' + i;
el1.value = 'Team Mem #' + n;
el1.size = 20;
el1.maxlength = 20;
firstCell.appendChild(el1);

I get the TextNode, but not the dropdown box. I'm close, but trying to finish getting the syntax correct.

Accessing Dynamically Created Elements?

Dec 23, 2010

I'm trying to write a script for a website that reads from a database and makes a separate table for each entry in the database. Since the number of entries can change, I want to dynamically create a div for each one, which I can later hide or display based on user selection. However, when I try to access the dynamically created elements by their ID, they return null. Is what I'm trying to do here actually possible?

for(var i = 0; i < tables.length; i ++)
{
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.setAttribute("id", tables[i].name);
newDiv.setAttribute("name", tables[i].name);
newDiv.setAttribute("class", "hidden");

[Code]...

Dynamically Loading Link Elements Via DOM

Mar 16, 2006

I have a set of scripts which rely on the ability to dynamically load css by constructing <link> elements via DOM scripting, and appending them into the page header. It works, for the most part, extremely well, but I need to be able to attach an onload function to said links. Unfortunately, this only seems to work in IE, not in FireFox or Safari (the three being my 'target' browsers under which the whole system needs to work.) Any means by which I can determine via Javascript whether such a link has finished loading? It doesn't have to be via onload if it's unsupported, but I need to be able to implement it across IE / Mozilla / Safari.

Dynamically Added Elements Cannot Be Removed

Oct 26, 2011

In my application I render a couple of elements dynamically after the user selects an option in a dropdown list. When the user selects another option in the dropdown, I want to remove all the previous elements that was added dynamically. I've tried with the .Remove() function, but it seems the elements cannot be found in the DOM. I've looked a lot at the .live() events.
