Dynamic input form not submitting

i have a dynamic form which lets you add and remove inputs. The issue is what even though it works visually, when submitting the form i wont get the values from inputs created by the JS function. If you need anything else let me know as this is about the last implementation to the website
Any ideas as to why? i leave my code below
The html:
<div class="form-container" id="form-container">
<div class="title-title">
<h3 class="recipe-pretitle">Recipe for</h3>
<form action="/recipes/create" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<div>
<label for="title">
<input name="title" type="text" id="title" placeholder="Name of dish">
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="description-container">
<label class="description-label" for="description">A brief description of your dish: <br> (max 80char)</label>
<textarea name="description" type="text" id="description" cols="30" rows="5"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="directions-ingredients-container">
<div id="product-directions">
<div class="label-directions"><label for="directions">Cooking steps.</label></div>
<div class="controls-ol-container">

your HTML is not valid, form element is not properly closed, move closing form tag outside button container, and form opening tag a level up
this should work, and now you probably need to modify styles and rearrange some elements, so you need to see to it that the form and HTML is valid, and adapt styles accordingly:
<div class="form-container" id="form-container">
<form action="/recipes/create" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<div class="title-title">
<h3 class="recipe-pretitle">Recipe for</h3>
<div>
<label for="title">
<input name="title" type="text" id="title" placeholder="Name of dish">
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="description-container">
<label class="description-label" for="description">A brief description of your dish:
<br> (max 80char)</label>
<textarea name="description" type="text" id="description" cols="30" rows="5"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="directions-ingredients-container">
<div id="product-directions">
<div class="label-directions">
<label for="directions">Cooking steps.</label>
</div>
<div class="controls-ol-container">
<div class="controls">
<i class="fa fa-sm">Add step</i>
<i class="fa fa-sm">Remove last step</i>
</div>
<div class="instruction-list-container">
<ol id="instruction-list">
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ingredients-container">
<div class="label-ingredients">
<label for="Ingredients">Ingredients:</label>
</div>
<div class="controls-ol-container">
<div class="controls">
<i class="fa fa-sm">Add Ingredient</i>
<i class="fa fa-sm">Remove last Ingredient</i>
</div>
<div class="ingredient-list-container">
<ol id="ingredient-list">
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageInputContainer">
<label id="image-label" for="image">Choose an image</label>
<input name="image" type="file" id="image">
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>

JavaScript Get the closest element and input a value to the input

I have a piece of HTML that looks like this
<div id="imageContent">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5 col-md-offset-1">
<div class="input-group form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control file-src" id="file1" placeholder="File Thumb Source">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-info modal-btn" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Select File</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="http://postbackurl.com"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Above that I have a button that looks like this
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-wd btn-info btn-fill btn" onclick="add_fields();" rel="tooltip">Add More Images</button>
</div>
</div>
Once that button is pressed I run a function to get the #imageContent div and append a new row with the same as before.
<script type="text/javascript">
function add_fields() {
var div = document.getElementById("imageContent");
div.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend','<div class="row"><div class="col-md-5 col-md-offset-1"> <div class="input-group form-group"><input type="text" class="form-control file-src" id="file1" placeholder="File Thumb Source"><span class="input-group-btn"> <button class="btn btn-info modal-btn" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Select File</button> </span> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-5"> <div class="form-group"> <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="http://postbackurl.com"/> </div> </div> </div>');
}
</script>
This works as expected and adds a new row into the imageContent div.
See picture. If I click Select Image, it launches a modal window with all of my images, and when I select one, it runs this piece of js.
onInsertCallback: function (obj){
/** Populate the src **/
currentModalBtn.closest('.input-group').find('input.file-src').val(obj.src);
$('#myModal').hide();
}
The problem I am having is that it does not get the correct input area to insert the value into, and instead always updates the first element. The full js code looks like this.
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
/** Keep track of which modal button was clicked. **/
var currentModalBtn;
jQuery('.modal-btn').click(function() {
currentModalBtn = jQuery(this);
});
jQuery('.laradrop').laradrop({
onInsertCallback: function(obj) {
/** Populate the src **/
currentModalBtn.closest('.input-group').find('input.file-src').val(obj.src);
$('#myModal').hide();
},
onErrorCallback: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// if you need an error status indicator, implement here
//Swal here
swal({
title: 'Error!',
text: 'An Error Occurred',
type: 'error',
showConfirmButton: false,
showCancelButton: true
});
},
onSuccessCallback: function(serverData) {
//
}
});
});
});
My question is, how can I ensure that I get the right input field that the button was clicked on to update that fields value and make sure the others stay as they were.

move var currentModalBtn; outside the ready so it is available to the callback(s)
Also have only one
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
you have a mess of jQuery/$ and so on - this will likely work better:
function add_fields() {
var $div = $("#imageContent");
$div.append('<div class="row"><div class="col-md-5 col-md-offset-1"> <div class="input-group form-group"><input type="text" class="form-control file-src" id="file1" placeholder="File Thumb Source"><span class="input-group-btn"> <button class="btn btn-info modal-btn" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Select File</button> </span> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-5"> <div class="form-group"> <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="http://postbackurl.com"/> </div> </div> </div>');
}
var currentModalBtn;
$(function() {
/** Keep track of which modal button was clicked. **/
$("#imageContent").on("click",".modal-btn", function() {
currentModalBtn = $(this);
});
$("#test").on("click",function() {
currentModalBtn.closest('.input-group').find('input.file-src').val("hello");
$('#myModal').hide();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-wd btn-info btn-fill btn" onclick="add_fields();" rel="tooltip">Add More Images</button>

jquery Editing dynamically generated div content

I have the following code snippet:
(document)
.on("submit", ".edit-employee-form", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: $(this).attr("action"),
method: $(this).attr("method"),
dataType: "html",
context: this,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (response) {
p = $(this).parent();
p.prevAll('#first-name').html($(this).find("#first_name").val());
p.prevAll('#last-name').html($(this).find("#last_name").val());
p.prevAll('#email').html($(this).find("#email").val());
p.prevAll('#remain_case').html($(this).find("#remain_case").val());
$(this).parent().hide();
console.log('yay');
},
error: function (response, error) {
console.log("ERROR");
console.log(response);
console.log(error);
}
});
}
);
What it does is it submits a form to edit a particular employee (a list is displayed on the page) and then updates the html to reflect the changes the user submitted.
My problem is that some of the employees are also added via ajax calls, so their corresponding list elements are added dynamically to the html. I don't seem to be able to access their divs with id first-name, last-name, email etc. Any advice on how I can select divs which have been added dynamically?
I'm sorry for this being an image but I don't seem to be able to copy off the chrome console. The second element is added dynamically.

Your code should be sure the order of finished ajax calls because it's too fast to follow with human eyes. If when appending ajax call is not completed, you cannot select those elements using even element id.
To do so, you should put ajax function calls in "success handler".
if Number one is success then Number two in the one's success handler, and Number three in two's success handler, and so on...
The simple solution is to use PROMISE to get all of ajax relative functions in order.
Please refer to the link : https://api.jquery.com/promise/
To check the element is successfully appended in time, check out the console with 'console.info or console.log" or something like that. if it's length is 0, then the appending ajax call is not yet completed.

activeform variable not updating

I have a Jquery function to activate and deactivate forms based off the current form. When I click on the submit button I can get the value of the activeform on the page load if I have it set to ID, but nothing off the second form. When I set it to class it doesn't seem to load any at all and I get no alert back when I click the submit. My jquery is as such:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var activeform = "register";
$("#loginlink").click(function(e) {
var activeform = "login";
$("#login").show("blind", 1000);
$("#register").hide("blind", 1000);
})
$("#registerlink").click(function(e) {
var activeform = "register";
$("#register").show("blind", 1000);
$("#login").hide("blind", 1000);
})
$(".submit").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert(activeform);
});
});
</script>
And the code for my forms:
<p>
<form id="register">
<div class='row'>
<div class="col-xs-4"></div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<label for username><i class="fa fa-user"></i> Username</label>

<div class="row">

Login | Register
Last but not least. Here's a fiddle. :)
https://jsfiddle.net/rm6j5da9/2/

You were recreating the activeform variable every time in the click event. remove the var keyword. you already declared that as a global variable inside the document ready scope.
$(function(){
var activeform = "register";
$("#loginlink").click(function(e) {
activeform = "login";
$("#login").show("blind", 1000);
$("#register").hide("blind", 1000);
});
$("#registerlink").click(function(e) {
activeform = "register";
$("#register").show("blind", 1000);
$("#login").hide("blind", 1000);
});
$(".submit").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert(activeform);
});
});
Also you need to make sure that you have the submit css class on both the login and register buttons
Here is a working sample

How to add fileds dynamically using javascript with Bootstrap?

I got the code add fields dynamically here Add fields dynamically - link
when I try use this code insight my form class <form class="form-horizontal" action="create.php" method="post"> it won't work but when put this filed out from form class it will work I know have to changes in java script but I'm new to JS so please help me the changes
this my form:
<body>
<form class="form-horizontal" action="create.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="des" class="col-sm-2 control-label">To Address</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">

myscript :

$(document).on('click', '.btn-add', function(e)
{
e.preventDefault();
var controlForm = $('.controls form:first'),
currentEntry = $(this).parents('.entry:first'),

newEntry.find('input').val('');
controlForm.find('.entry:not(:last) .btn-add')
.removeClass('btn-add').addClass('btn-remove')
.removeClass('btn-success').addClass('btn-danger')
.html('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-minus"></span>');
}).on('click', '.btn-remove', function(e)
{
$(this).parents('.entry:first').remove();
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
});
</script>

You made a mistake in your HTML markup, adding a form inside another form, and i had a look at your reference, you would see you did make a mistake.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="control-group" id="fields">
<label class="control-label" for="field1">Nice Multiple Form Fields</label>
<div class="controls">
<form role="form" autocomplete="off">
<div class="entry input-group col-xs-3">
<input class="form-control" name="fields[]" type="text" placeholder="Type something" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-success btn-add" type="button">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</form>
<br>
<small>Press <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus gs"></span> to add another form field :)</small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
So if you wanted to add your POST method, you would add it into the form tag there, and not create a new one.
Hope this helps.
