How to create dynamic form elements using cloneNode - javascript

I'm trying to create an interactive resume template using javascript and html and have managed to use cloneNode to duplicate work history blocks (see attached screenshot)
The problem(s) I am having is that clicking on the add list item button in the cloned/duplicated work history block at the bottom, creates a <li> item in the 1st/cloned element.
The objective is to be able to add or delete ````` list elements within a specific work history block and to also be able to add/remove entire work history sections. Currently it deletes from the top down, which is also an issue.
Thanks for any pointers in advance.

<div id="test">
<div id="node">
<div class="work_history">
<div class="row">

<button onclick="RemoveTask()">Delete List Item</button>
</ul>
<button onclick="addWork()">Add Work</button>
<button onclick="removeWork()">Remove Work</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function addWork() {
var div = document.getElementById("node");
var cln = div.cloneNode(true);
//cln.setAttribute( 'id', 'newId');
document.getElementById("test").appendChild(cln);
}
function removeWork(){
var last = document.getElementById("test");
// want to delete the last added work history not first
last.removeChild(last.childNodes[0]);
}
function addTask(){
var ul = document.getElementById("list");
var task = document.getElementById("task");
var li = document.createElement("li");
li.setAttribute('id',task.value);
li.appendChild(document.createTextNode(task.value));
ul.appendChild(li);
}
function removeTask(){
var ul = document.getElementById("list");
var task = document.getElementById("task");
var item = document.getElementById(task.value);
ul.removeChild(item);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

You'd have to use e.currentTarget instead of document.getElementById, otherwise you're only referring to the first instance of it:
function addWork(e) {
const div = e.currentTarget.parentElement;
const cln = div.cloneNode(true);
document.getElementById("test").appendChild(cln);
}
function removeWork(e) {
const last = e.currentTarget.parentElement;
last.parentElement.removeChild(last);
}
function addTask(e) {
const ul = e.currentTarget.parentNode;
let task = ul.children[0].childNodes[1].value;
let li = document.createElement("li");
// Replace paragraph breaks
task = task.replace(/\r?\n|\r/g, " ");
li.innerText = task;
ul.appendChild(li);
}
function removeTask(e) {
const ul = e.currentTarget.parentNode;
ul.removeChild(ul.lastChild);
}

This allows you to refer to the specific element where the click event occurred and add/remove any elements that are relative within the DOM.
As a side note, it's best practice to have unique id attributes, adding the same id to multiple elements goes against that.

var add_button = $(".add_form_field");
var wrapper = $(".container1");
var max_fields = 9;
var x = 1;
$(add_button).click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (x < max_fields) {
x++;
$(wrapper).append(
` <div class="email">
<label for="">Year</label>
<input type="text" name="eduYear${x}">
<label for="">Title Name</label>
<input type="text" name="eduTitle${x}">
<label for="">Institution/School Name</label>
<input type="text" name="eduPlace${x}">
<label for="">Details</label>
<input type="text" name="eduNotes${x}"> <br>Delete<hr></div>`
); //add input box
}
});
$(wrapper).on("click", ".delete", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).parent("div").remove();
x--;
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container1">
<h2>Educations</h2>
<button type="button" class="add_form_field">Add Education
<span style="font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">+ </span>
</button>
<div class="email">
<label for="">Year</label>
<input type="number" name="eduYear1">
<label for="">Title Name</label>
<input type="text" name="eduTitle1">
<label for="">Institution/School Name</label>
<input type="text" name="eduPlace1">
<label for="">Details</label>
<input type="text" name="eduNotes1">
</div>
you can try this to create dynamic form

Jquery clone name attribute increase

I'm looking to clone addDriverContent (working fine) and increment the numbers for the name attribute on name="description" to name="description2", name="description3" on the clones
Also if anyone know how to also clone the add button so it works as it should on the clones would be extra points :) Some fiddles would be awesome :)
<div id="addDriverContent" style="display:none;">
<div class="content">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label for="description" class="form-label font-weight-bold">Item Description:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="description" name="description" placeholder="Enter the items description"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button type="button" class="add_field_button" id="clone_button">Add another item</button>
<div id="clone_wrapper"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function($) {
var max_fields = 4;
// origin selector would select all the first div ancestors.
var $content = $("#addDriverContent > .content");
var $clone_wrapper = $("#clone_wrapper") ;
var $add_button = $(".add_field_button"); //Add button ID
$add_button.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var counter = 0;
// jquery object is array liked object. Length mean how many elements is selected.
if ( $clone_wrapper.children(".content").length < max_fields )
$content.clone().appendTo($clone_wrapper);
});
$clone_wrapper.on("click",".remove_field", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// this would be more specific.
$(this).parent(".content").remove();

Trying to add "this" object to an array (Javascript)

I'm trying to make it so when you push a button you add a note to the page. When I push the button, the new note flashes. I'm trying to get it to stay.
When I use a regular bracket object the new note stays. I could just switch to using one, but I wanna know if it's possible to make it work with a "this" object before switching.
The button used to add the note is under the "Note Drop-down" button
var dummyNotes = [];
class NewNote {
constructor(id, title, details, date) {
this.id = id;
this.title = title;
this.details = details;
this.date = date;
this.titleFormat = function() {

this.detailsFormat = function() {

}
}
}
let newNoteInput = document.getElementById("newNoteInput");
newNoteInput.addEventListener('submit', addANote);
function addANote(){
/*If this fails, just copy paste what's under, insert values */
const pushNote = new NewNote(generateID(), newNoteTitle.value, newNoteDetails.value, dateNote.toLocaleDateString());
dummyNotes.push(pushNote);

theNewNote.appendChild(theNewNoteForm);
theNewNoteForm.innerHTML = pushNote.titleFormat() + pushNote.detailsFormat();
noteList.appendChild(theNewNote); /*APPEND CHILD to get every item on the list*/
}
function init() {
dummyNotes.forEach(addNewNote);
noteList.innerHTML = "";

Yep, as I suspected, your form was definitely posting without preventing default.
Please review the code, I've commented everywhere I made changes.

All I had to do to make the remove button work was write init like this:
function init() {
noteList.innerHTML = "";
dummyNotes.forEach(addNewNote);
}
noteList.innerHTML just needed to be on top!

How to create a 'add more' feature in HTML forms [closed]

Improve this question
I am creating a HTML form in which I need to create a 'add more' button so another field appears. Any help would be appreciated
This isn't possible in pure HTML, but it can easily be achieved using javascript!
Basic example
In the basic example, you have one input field. When you click the add field button an extra input gets added after the last inserted input.
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
$('<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">').insertAfter('.input:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
Copy value
This example is almost the same as the example above with one difference. It copies the value of the previous input. This is done with help of the JQuery .val() method
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
let value = $('.input:last').val(); // gets the value of the previous input
$('<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="' + value + '">').insertAfter('.input:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
Input groups
You could also copy an entire input group with multiple input fields.
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
$('<div class="input-group"><input type="email" class="input" name="email[]" value="" placeholder="Your email"><input type="password" class="input" name="password[]" value="" placeholder="Your password"></div>').insertAfter('.input-group:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.input-group {
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
padding: 5px 0;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="email" class="input" name="email[]" value="" placeholder="Your email">
<input type="password" class="input" name="password[]" value="" placeholder="Your password">
</div>
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
If you need any more examples please leave a comment!
Please try instead,
$(".Addmore").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// make a separation line
$("#FormItems").append('<hr width="300px">');
// append the input field as your needs
$("#FormItems").append('<input name="user" type="text" placeholder="Username"><br>');
$("#FormItems").append('<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email Address">');
});
.formwrapper{
text-align:center;
}
input{
padding:3px;
margin-bottom:5px;
display:inline-block;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="formwrapper">
<form>
<div id="FormItems">
<input name="user" type="text" placeholder="Username"><br>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email Address">
</div>
<input type="button" value="Add More" class="Addmore">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
In a few lines of js and html you can get that :
<button class="add-input">Add one more input</button>
<form action="." method="GET">
<div class="inputs">
<input type="text" name="text[]">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script>
const addButton = document.querySelector('button.add-input')
const inputDiv = document.querySelector('form .inputs')
addButton.addEventListener('click', ()=>{ // button to add the inputs
let newInput = document.createElement('input')
newInput.name = 'text[]' // add the name of the input
newInput.type = 'text' // add the type of the input
// you can add other attributes before appeding the node into the html
inputDiv.appendChild(newInput)
})
</script>
and you will have this as a result (I used php to prompt the result)
you can add as many input you want/need.
Next step is just doing some css
I hope this is, what you mean
<form>
<input type="text">
<input type="submit" value="cta">
</form>
<button>Add More</button>
<script>
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
let field = document.createElement('input');
// change field however you'd like
document.querySelector('form').insertBefore(field, document.querySelector('form:last-child'));
})
</script>
You cannot create this using HTML only, you will need javascript. You could use a frontend framework like react.js to make life easy.
For example in react, you could bind an onclick listener on the button and maintain an array of values as state. Use this array to map value to your input. Whenever user clicks the button, you can then simply push a defaultValue to the array and react will handle the rest.
Import React, { useState } from 'react';
const Page = ()=>{
const [ arr, setArr ] = useState([""]);
const handleAdd = ()=>{
setArr([...arr, ""]);
};
return <form>
{arr.map((elem, index)=><input
onChange={ //"implement logic to update value stored in array" }
value={elem}
key={index} /> )}
<button onClick={()=>handleAdd()}>Add</button>
</form>
}
Using Bootstrap and jquery
Only in html is not possible, you need some on click event to trigger the functionality that may change the html dom.
You can use vanilla javascript as well, here is example using jquery library.
It will dynamically add and remove the element

How to spawn a new div prior to the last div in a container?

I'm trying to create new fields like the first field in this form by clicking on an image, but the fields are spawning below the button to submit and I don't understand why. The behavior I'm looking for is for the new fields to spawn above the button.
Here's my code
<div id="title">
<h1>Monthly Run Operations Assessment</h1>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-20" id="row-one">
<label for="name">1. </label>
</div>
<div class="col-60">
<input type="text" id="op" name="op" placeholder="Insert operation here">
</div>
<div class="col-20" id="symbol">
<img src="file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/plus-circle-solid.svg" id="add">
</div>
</div>
<div id="submit">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</div>
This is the function:
var element = document.getElementById("add");
element.onclick = function() {
console.log("woot");
var ele = document.getElementsByClassName("row")[0];
var clone = ele.cloneNode(true);
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
document.body.appendChild(clone);
}
appendChild, as its name suggests, always appends the new element -- that is, it adds it to the end. What you want is insertBefore:
document.body.insertBefore(clone, ele);
One way to handle this is to wrap your form in a container and append to it :
var element = document.getElementById("add");
element.onclick = function() {
// console.log("woot");
var ele = document.getElementsByClassName("row")[0];
var clone = ele.cloneNode(true);
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
document.querySelector('#container').appendChild(clone);
}
<div id="title">
<h1>Monthly Run Operations Assessment</h1>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-20" id="row-one">
<label for="name">1. </label>
</div>
<div class="col-60">
<input type="text" id="op" name="op" placeholder="Insert operation here">
</div>
<div class="col-20" id="symbol">
<img src="file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/plus-circle-solid.svg" id="add">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="submit">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</div>
I combined the above answers to achieve the expected behavior.
var element = document.getElementById("add");
element.onclick = function() {
// console.log("woot");
var ele = document.getElementsByClassName("row")[0];
var clone = ele.cloneNode(true);
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
document.querySelector('#container').insertBefore(clone, ele);
}

jquery next() reference to specific ul's li

I'm working on a multi stage form with the following enabling the next/previous button to transit the form submission from one stage to the other:
$("input[name='next']").click(function(){
var output = validate();
if(output) {
var current = $("#signup-step.active");
var next = current .next(); //Just use .next() here to get the nextSibling of this li
if(next.length>0) {
$("#"+current.attr("id")+"-field").hide();
$("#"+next.attr("id")+"-field").show();
$("input[name='back']").show();
$("input[name='finish']").hide();
$(".active").removeClass("active");
next.addClass("active");
/* if($(".active").attr("id") == $("#signup-step.li").last().attr("id")) {
$("input[name='next']").hide();
$("input[name='finish']").show();
} */
if ( next.is(':last-child') ) {
$("input[name='next']").hide();
$("input[name='finish']").show();
}
}
}
});
$("input[name='back']").click(function(){
var current = $(".active");
var prev = $(".active").prev("#signup-step.li");
if(prev.length>0) {
$("#"+current.attr("id")+"-field").hide();
$("#"+prev.attr("id")+"-field").show();
$("input[name='next']").show();
$("input[name='finish']").hide();
$(".active").removeClass("active");
prev.addClass("active");
/*if($(".active").attr("id") == $("#signup-step.li").first().attr("id")) {
$("input[name='back']").hide();
}
*/
if ( next.is(':last-child') ) {
$("input[name='back']").hide();
}
}
});
By #signup-step:li I'm trying to refer to the li elements in a specific UL element because there two other UL element on the page: 1) UL of main menu, 2) UL of sidebars. Now since the main menu's UL comes before the form itself, the next/back button activate the menu items of the main menu rather the form stages. So being able to specify the UL referred will resolve this.
Kindly advise on the the correct for mat for selecting #signup-step:li in the code above?
Here is the form:
<ul id="signup-step">
<li id="Initiate" class="active">Initiate</li>
<li id="Strive">Strive</li>
<li id="End">End</li>
</ul>
<form name="frmRegistration" id="signup-form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="sendemail.php">

Thanks everyone for responding. I solve the problem of conflict with the main menu of the page I change the .active class to .here in the UL HTML, CSS and jquery script. I also reliazed from this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/GrahamWalters/sgNH4/2/ i gained from another thread that the next("#signup-step.li"); should be next("#signup-step li");
UL HTML
<ul id="signup-step">
<li id="Initiate" class="active">Initiate</li>
<li id="Strive">Strive</li>
<li id="End">End</li>
</ul>
CSS
#signup-step li.here{background-color:#FF0000;}
.here{color:#FFF;}
JQUERY
$("#next").click(function(){
var output = validate();
if(output) {
var current = $(".here");
var next = $(".here").next("#signup-step li");
if(next.length>0) {
$("#"+current.attr("id")+"-field").hide();
$("#"+next.attr("id")+"-field").show();
$("#back").show();
$("#finish").hide();
$(".here").removeClass("here");
next.addClass("here");
if($(".here").attr("id") == $("#signup-step li").last().attr("id")) {
$("#next").hide();
$("#finish").show();
}
}
}
});
$("#back").click(function(){
var current = $(".here");
var prev = $(".here").prev("#signup-step li");
if(prev.length>0) {
$("#"+current.attr("id")+"-field").hide();
$("#"+prev.attr("id")+"-field").show();
$("#next").show();
$("#finish").hide();
$(".here").removeClass("here");
prev.addClass("active");
if($(".here").attr("id") == $("li").first().attr("id")) {
$("#back").hide();
}
}
});
