A table row in a form which is dynamically generated with a "Add row " button.
One field in the row is Date which uses datepicker to select the date.
PROBLEM:
The datepicker doesn't show when the row is dynamically generated.
I am using bootstrap 3.
Here is the code that generate table row on button click.
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
if(rowCount < 40){ // limit the user from creating fields more than your limits
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
}
}else{
alert("Maximum Players per Entry is 40");
}
}
HTML MARKUP FOR DATE INPUT:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="InputDatePicker">Date:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Select Date" id="InputDatePicker">
</div>
JAVASCRIPT to call datepicker function on input
<script>
$('#InputDatePicker').datepicker();
</script>
UPDATED CODE TO ADD A NEW ROW AND INITIALIZING THE DATEPICKER
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
if(rowCount < 40){ // limit the user from creating fields more than your limits
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
}
$('#InputDatePicker').datepicker();
}else{
alert("Maximum Players per Entry is 40");
}
}
Presumably you mean that you're using the jQuery UI Datepicker plugin? (Or something similar?) In that case you're never initializing the plugin on the dynamically added elements:
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
}
It sounds like you're successfully adding new elements to the page. But once those elements are added, you need to target the one(s) that should be a Datepicker and initialize the plugin on those elements:
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
}
$(someSelector).datepicker();
The value of someSelector is entirely up to you, I don't know your markup. But the idea is that you need to uniquely identify the newly added elements which need to become Datepickers. Initializing the plugin when the page loads only initializes the elements which exist at that time, not elements which are added later.
Update:
According to your jQuery selector:
$('#InputDatePicker').datepicker();
You are identifying an element with an id of "InputDatePicker". So one of two things is happening:
Your newly-added elements don't have that id, which means this selector isn't selecting them. In this case you need to select the newly-added elements.
Your newly-added elements do have that id, which means your HTML is invalid and the behavior of the code is undefined. In this case you need to fix your HTML so that you don't re-use id values and update your selector accordingly. id values need to be unique, by definition.

So I'm trying to make a form where the user can dynamically add and remove rows containing cascading dropdowns as a class picker.
So far I've been able to make everything work except for the remove selected classes function.
I've tried a couple different deleteRow functions but can't seem to make it work.
My most recent attempt is by using the checkbox input but I'm open to any other solutions.
Thanks

My first suggestion would be to make sure that the remove button is doing something when you click it - you've attached an event listener to the Add Class button, but the Remove Selected Classes button doesn't look like it's calling that deleteRows function.
Then, make sure that you have a reference to that table in the deleteRows function. You are passing it a table id, but the table variable reference is defined outside of the scope of that function.
Then, work on the for loop and the logic therein. It looks like you are mistaking getElementsByTagName with getElementsByName. The one you are using is concerned with the tag name (input) not the name attribute (chk).
Hope this helps a little bit!
I'm currently trying to add a jQuery function to a row of radio buttons. The problem is that I need to add dynamically many rows. Now For this example I only added 2 elements into the array of newNodes, but in my application newNodes can potentially have many different sizes.
So basically I want to add the Query function something like this:
$('#rowID input').on('change', function() {
alert($('input[name=i]:checked', '#rowID').val());
});
Where it exists inside the forloop and is added for each new row. "rowID" is a variable assigned to the unique row identifier and then use the loop iterator "i" as a way to distinguish the radio buttons for each row.
Here is the HTML:
<form id="createEdges" method="POST>
<fieldset>
<legend class="title">Modify the graph!</legend>
<table id="createEdgesTable">
</table>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="backToThirdForm" onclick="goBackToForm3()" value="Back"/>
</fieldset>
And Here is the Javascript:
newNodes = [];
newNodes.push(0);
newNodes.push(1);
//get HTML Table to add rows in
var edgeTable = document.getElementById("createEdgesTable");
//Create a table row for each node
for (var i in newNodes) {
var row = edgeTable.insertRow();
row.id = "node" + i;
//Show name of the node
var td = document.createElement('td');
var text = document.createTextNode(newNodes[i]);
td.appendChild(text);
row.appendChild(td);
//Choice for showing node
var td2 = document.createElement('td');
var radioButton1 = document.createElement('input');
radioButton1.type = "radio";
radioButton1.name = i;
radioButton1.value = "showNode";
td2.appendChild(radioButton1);
row.appendChild(td2);
//Choice for creating edge
var td3 = document.createElement('td');
var radioButton2 = document.createElement('input');
radioButton2.type = "radio";
radioButton2.name = i;
radioButton2.value = "createEdge";
td3.appendChild(radioButton2);
row.appendChild(td3);
//Choice for deleting node
var td4 = document.createElement('td');
var radioButton3 = document.createElement('input');
radioButton3.type = "radio";
radioButton3.name = i;
radioButton3.value = "removeNode";
td4.appendChild(radioButton3);
row.appendChild(td4);
var rowID = row.id;
}
$('#node0 input').on('change', function() {
alert($('input[name=0]:checked', '#node0').val());
});

Any example on how to make this work for each row? I'm relatively new to JQuery and have been stuck on this problem for quite some time now. Thank you for your time and help!
Just change your script with following code.
$('tr[id^=node] input').on('change', function() {
alert(this.value);
});
Explanation:
Scripts find any tr whose id starts with node. this covers all your dynamically generated TRs. Further selection narrows down to only input element in each TR, and registers change event for that element. On that change event your have already got that element so you can easily access its value there.
Here is Js Fiddle Link
Further if you want to know clicked radio falls in which node, you can check out this js fiddle.
$('tr[id^=node] input').on('change', function() {
var row = $(this).parents('tr:first').get(0);
alert('Node: '+ row.id+ ' value:' + this.value);
});
I am trying to create dynamic select boxes that contain the same data, however, only the first select box contains the data and not the others.
Can someone assist me as to how I would populate the others accordingly please.
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="addRow('dataTable')" />
<input type="button" value="Delete" onclick="deleteRow('dataTable')" />
<?php $i= 1; ?>
<table id="dataTable">
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[]"/></td>
<td> 1 </td>
<td><select name="fireman[]"><option value=""></option><?php require("php/fireman_list.php"); ?></select> </td>
</tr>
</table>
JS CODE
<script language="javascript">
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var element1 = document.createElement("input");
element1.type = "checkbox";
element1.name="chkbox[]";
cell1.appendChild(element1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
cell2.innerHTML = rowCount + 1;
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);

var row = table.rows[i];
var chkbox = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
if(null != chkbox && true == chkbox.checked)

table.deleteRow(i);

Err... From what I understand of your code, I am not quite sure you're using the right tool for the job.
You have PHP on the server side that is meant to generate HTML pages, so why bother to do it in JavaScript? Even with the help of JQuery, adding DOM elements dynamically is a messy, verbose and tedious business.
If you want your page to display only part of its contents, the usual way of doing it is to have all the possible contents created on the page, and mask the parts that you don't want (using CSS attributes).
I assume you don't plan to allow to create on your page an infinite number of... Mmmm... whatever these dynamic table represent?
If you can set a limit to, say, 10 instances, you can create these 10 instances with a simple PHP loop (or even by copy-pasting the HTML code for a proof of concept test), and then replace your creation/destruction process with a show/hide mechanism.
Initially, only the first instance will be shown. the "Add" button will make the next one visible, and the "Delete" button will make the last one invisible.
If you index your table instances by Id (i.e. "DataTable_0", "DataTable_1", etc.), it is really easy to switch them on and off with CSS, like so:
function hide_table (table_number)
{
document.getElementById ("DataTable_"+table_number).style.display = 'none';
}
You can make them reappear just as easily using block instead of none for display property.
What do you think?
you need to change the addRow function so that it accepts two additional parameters which are arrays consists of the values and Text for options of the created select item.
selValue will be the array of values of options in select and
selText will be the array of Text of options in select
Let the code be:
function addRow(tableID, selValue, selText)
{
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var element1 = document.createElement("input");
element1.type = "checkbox";
element1.name="chkbox[]";
cell1.appendChild(element1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
cell2.innerHTML = rowCount + 1;
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
var element2 = document.createElement("select");
element2.type = "text";
element2.name = "fireman[]";
//dynamically adding data from arrays passed
for(var i=0; i<selValue.length;i++)
{
op=document.createElement("option");
op.text= selValue[i];
op.value= selText[i];
cell3.add(op);
}
// dynamic adding end
cell3.appendChild(element2);
}
I want to add/remove rows in a table dynamically. I have javascript function to add and remove the rows. But, I want the delete button beside every single row so that I can delete a particular row.
ANd I want to add a row only if the first row is completely filled.
function to remove row
function removeRowFromTable()
{
var tbl = document.getElementById('tblSample');
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
if (lastRow > 2) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);
}
function to add rows:
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var element1 = document.createElement("input");
element1.type = "text";
cell1.appendChild(element1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
var element2 = document.createElement("input");
element2.type = "text";
cell2.appendChild(element2);
}
my table:
<table id="tableId">
<tr><td>Host Name</td><td>Directory</td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text"/></td><td><input type="text"/></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="button" value="+" onclick="addRow(tableId)"/></td>
<td><input type="button" value="-" onclick="removeRowFromTable()"/></td></tr>
</table>
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in Advance!!!
If you put a delete button on each row, then:
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="Delete row" onclick="deleteRow(this)">
<td><input type="text">
<td><input type="text">
</tr>
And the deleteRow function can be:
function deleteRow(el) {
// while there are parents, keep going until reach TR
while (el.parentNode && el.tagName.toLowerCase() != 'tr') {
el = el.parentNode;
}
// If el has a parentNode it must be a TR, so delete it
// Don't delte if only 3 rows left in table
if (el.parentNode && el.parentNode.rows.length > 3) {
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
}
}
BTW, if all your rows have the same content, it will be much faster to add a row by cloning an existing row:
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
if (!table) return;
var newRow = table.rows[1].cloneNode(true);
// Now get the inputs and modify their names
var inputs = newRow.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0, iLen=inputs.length; i<iLen; i++) {
// Update inputs[i]
}
// Add the new row to the tBody (required for IE)
var tBody = table.tBodies[0];
tBody.insertBefore(newRow, tBody.lastChild);
}
You can avoid a lot of cross browser headaches by using jquery. Here is a sample.
http://jsfiddle.net/piyushjain7/gKJEs/
Javascript has this really useful function called deleteRow where if you know the index you are deleting from, you can simply input that number, and then it'll delete that specific row (index's starting at 0 - tbl.rows.length).
I also found a nice example that uses it in action. You can adjust it to fit your needs though (although his uses checkboxes which might be a lot cleaner than just making a button next to every single row). I don't encourage you to blatantly copy the code so if there is anything that confuses you, please let us know. Hope this helps.
EDIT: I didn't see you wanted to add rows after you found out the last row was completely filled. I'll update my answer when I figure that out. However, the basic idea of that is to check if the <td> tag has text in it (perhaps check if the text inside the tag isn't a blank or if there is a <td> tag at all and then if it isn't empty, make a new <tr> element else don't.

Update:
RobG has made me realize that getParentByTagName throws an error if there isn't any parent with the nodeName passed.
If you want a more general getParentByTagName, which doesn't throw errors, you can use
function getParentByTagName(el,tag){
tag=tag.toLowerCase();
while(el&&el.nodeName.toLowerCase()!=tag){
el=el.parentNode;
}
return el||null;
}
And when you call the function you should check if the result is null.

here I would like to execute both javascript and JSP after onclick event
<CODE>
<table id = "add_degree">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<%rs2 = st.executeQuery("Select * from degrees"); %>
<select name = "courses">
<%while(rs2.next()) {%>
<option value = "<%=rs2.getString(1)%>"><%=rs2.getString(2)%></option>
<%} %>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" name = "ratings" class = "span1">
</td>
<td>
Delete Course
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Here onclick event adds a new row to the existing table with similar cell blocks.
I have a JSP code which enters the row data into database.
Can I make execute both JSP and javascript code simultaneously so that I have a new row and the data entered in the previous is entered into the database.
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
switch(newcell.childNodes[0].type) {
case "text":
newcell.childNodes[0].value = "";
break;
case "button":
newcell.childNodes[0].value = "Delete Course";
break;
case "select-one":
newcell.childNodes[0].selectedIndex = 0;
break;
}
}
}
If you can use jQuery (best choice nowdays, anyway)
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "addToDatabase.jsp",
success: function(data){
//here goes JavaScript code that adds new row
}
});
});
Don't forget to construct addToDatabase.jsp in such a way, that data, passed to success function, gives you information if the row was trully added to database.
Probably you need to pass some parameters to addToDatabase.jsp, how to do it is described in jQuery reference guide.
