Autosum with generated fields JS - javascript

I'm a bit stuck with javascript again. Basically when you click a button a new row of fields will appear, giving them a new name just a different number.
I now need these fields to be able to auto sum by themself, i can do this with the first row I just don't know how to do them with the new generated ones.
The Javascript code:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var i=2;
function addRow()
{
var tbl = document.getElementById('customersAdd');
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
var iteration = lastRow - 1;
var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow);
var firstCell = row.insertCell(0);
var el = document.createElement('input');
el.placeholder = 'Quantity';
el.type = 'text';
el.name = 'quantity' + i;
el.id = 'quantity' + i;
firstCell.appendChild(el);
var secondCell = row.insertCell(1);
var el2 = document.createElement('input');
el2.placeholder = 'Description';
el2.type = 'text';
el2.name = 'description' + i;
el2.id = 'description' + i;
secondCell.appendChild(el2);
var thirdCell = row.insertCell(2);
var el3 = document.createElement('input');
el3.placeholder = 'Rate';
el3.type = 'text';
el3.name = 'rate' + i;
el3.id = 'rate' + i;
thirdCell.appendChild(el3);
var forthCell = row.insertCell(3);
var el4 = document.createElement('input');
el4.placeholder = 'Amount';
el4.type = 'text';
el4.name = 'amount' + i;
el4.id = 'amount' + i;
forthCell.appendChild(el4);
// alert(i);
i++;
// alert(i);
}
function startCalc(){
interval = setInterval("calc()",1);
}
function calc(){
one = document.main.quantity1.value;
two = document.main.rate1.value;
document.main.amount1.value = (one * 1) * (two * 1);
}
function stopCalc(){
clearInterval(interval);
}
</script>
The HTML code:
<form action="submit.php" name="main" method="post">
<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" align="center" width="50%" class="horiz" id="customersAdd">
<tr>
<td align="center"><br/>
<input class="text" style="width:100%" type="button" align="middle"value="Add Aditional Row" onClick="addRow()" /></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>
<br />
<input placeholder="Quantity" type="text" name="quantity1" id="quantity1" onFocus="startCalc();" onBlur="stopCalc();" />
<br /></td>
<td>
<br />
<input placeholder="Description" type="text" name="description1" id="description1"/>
<br /></td>
<td>
<br />
<input placeholder="Rate" type="text" name="rate1" id="rate1" onFocus="startCalc();" onBlur="stopCalc();"/>
<br /></td>
<td>
<br />
<input placeholder="Amount" type="text" name="amount1" id="amount1" onBlur="stopCalc();" onFocus="startCalc();" readonly="true" />
<br /></td>
</tr>
</table></form>
To make things easier for anyone who could help me I have made this in JSBin to see it easier of what i want to do. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

In the end I managed to find a way on how to do this myself, if anyone is interested take a look at this:
http://jsfiddle.net/2sYgE/
var currentItem = 1;
$('#customersAdd').on('keyup', '.quantity, .rate, .amount', calculateRow);
$('#addnew').click(function() {
currentItem++;
$('#customersAdd').append('<tr><td><input placeholder="Quantity" type="text" name="quantity' + currentItem +'" id="quantity' + currentItem +'" class="qty form-input-rate" /></td><td><input placeholder="Description" type="text" name="description' + currentItem +'" id="description' + currentItem +'" class="form-input-rate"/></td><td><input placeholder="Rate" type="text" name="rate' + currentItem +'" id="rate' + currentItem +'" class="rate form-input-rate"/></td><td><input placeholder="Amount" type="text" name="amount' + currentItem +'" id="amount' + currentItem +'" class="cal form-input-rate"/></td></tr>'
);
});
function calculateSum() {
var sum = 0;
$(".cal").each(function () {
if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
sum += parseFloat(this.value);
}
});
}
function calculateRow() {
var cost = 0;
var $row = $(this).closest("tr");
var qty = parseFloat($row.find('.qty').val());
// changed the following line to only look within the current row
var rate = parseFloat($row.find('.rate').val());
cost = qty * rate;
if (isNaN(cost)) {
$row.find('.cal').val("0");
} else {
$row.find('.cal').val(cost);
}
calculateSum();
}

Polling for changes is a very inefficient and error–prone way to do form updates. Listening for change events is a better way to go as it uses fewer resources and waits until the user has finished updating the control before doing anything. There is also an input event that can be used, but it's not suitable here as it will update the form as the user enters values. Much better to wait for the user to finish entering values, then do the update.
I've re–factored your code below, it's not ready for production but it should give you some idea of how to go about it. Table rows are cloned as it's much faster than creating all the elements from scratch. Then names are modified, though this isn't really necessary. There is no need for ID attributes.
Cloning only works reliably here if inline listeners are used on the form controls. If the initial listeners are dynamically attached, you'll have to add them each time a row is added as listeners added using addEventListener are not cloned.
I haven't included any input validation, if the user puts in junk, they get junk back. You should validate input to check that appropriate values are being entered, and also format the displayed values for presentation.
<script type="text/javascript">
function addRow(element) {
var form = element.form;
var table = form.getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
var tbody = table.tBodies[0];
var num = tbody.rows.length - 1;
var row = table.rows[1].cloneNode(true);
var input, inputs = row.getElementsByTagName('input')
// Update input names
for (var i=0, iLen=inputs.length; i<iLen; i++) {
input = inputs[i];
input.name = input.name.replace(/\d+$/,num);
input.value = '';
}
tbody.insertBefore(row, tbody.rows[tbody.rows.length - 1]);
}
function updateRow(element) {
var form = element.form;
var num = element.name.replace(/^\D+/,'');
var value = form['quantity' + num].value * form['rate' + num].value;
form['amount' + num].value = (value == 0)? '' : value;
updateTotal(form);
}
function updateTotal(form) {
var elements = form.elements;
var name = /^amount/;
var total = 0;
var value;
for (var i=0, iLen=elements.length; i<iLen; i++) {
if (name.test(elements[i].name)) {
total += parseFloat(elements[i].value);
}
}
form.total.value = total;
}
</script>

Creating inputs in function, or any other method (Javascript)

I'm trying to make something that makes it easier to write out a matrix/matrices.
You start with getting two number inputs for the dimensions of the matrix. And after that you "submit" the numbers and out comes several input boxes.
How do you write this code? Is it possible to do it in another function?
I was thinking of having the "submit" button have a validification to see if numbers are real, and if they are the function continues with for loops on how to "write" out the number boxes.
This is what I got right now:
function validate(){
var num;
num = document.getElementById("numberbox").value;
var myForm = document.getElementById('payForm'); //
while(myForm.hasChildNodes()){
myForm.removeChild(myForm.firstChild);
}
myForm = document.createElement("form");
myForm.setAttribute("method","post");
myForm.setAttribute("action","processChecking.php");
if(isNaN(num) || num<1){
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "invalid number!";
document.getElementById("numberbox").value = '';
} else {
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "number validated!";
array(num);
for (var i = 0; i <= num; i++) {
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.type = 'text';
input.name = 'myInput_' + i;
input.id = 'myInput_' + i;
myForm.appendChild(input);
}
}
}
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
Enter number for how many number boxes you want:<br>
<input id="numberbox" type="number">
<button type="button" onclick="validate()">Validate</button>
<br>
<p id="output"></p>
<br>
</p>
</td>
<td style="text-align:right;">
<p id="payForm"></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Here is what I made from your question so far. If it is on track, then we can build upon it.
function createTable() {
var num_rows = document.getElementById('rows').value;
var num_cols = document.getElementById('cols').value;
var theader = '<table border="1">\n';
var tbody = '';
for (var i = 0; i < num_rows; i++) {
tbody += '<tr>';
for (var j = 0; j < num_cols; j++) {
tbody += '<td>';
tbody += '<input type="number">'
tbody += '</td>'
}
tbody += '</tr>\n';
}
var tfooter = '</table>';
document.getElementById('wrapper').innerHTML = theader + tbody + tfooter;
}
<form name="tablegen">
<label>Input number of rows :
<input type="number" name="rows" id="rows" />
</label>
<br />
<label>Input number of columns :
<input type="number" name="cols" id="cols" />

Table Add More Row using javascript

I am adding dynamic row to table. But when adding new row, I want to replace some string on new row. But it is not working.
<table id="testTable">
<tr id="row_1">
<td>
<select onchange="changeCustomCategory(this.value,'1');" id="_cid" name="_cid[0]" >
<option value="">--Select Product--</option>
<option value="test">Test</option>
</select>
<input type="text" onchange="_doVariation(1);" value="1" id="_qty" name="_qty[0]"/>
<input type="text" class="textfield" value="0.00" id="item1_total" name="item1_total" readonly>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" value="1" id="total_row">
<input type="button" onclick="addRow()" value="Add Row">
This is my HTML code.
function addRow(){
var total_row = document.getElementById("total_row").value;
var _previousId = parseInt(total_row);
var new_id = parseInt(total_row) + 1;
document.getElementById("total_row").value = new_id;
var table = document.getElementById("testTable");
jQuery("#"+ table.rows[0].id).clone().appendTo("#testTable");
var totalTableRow = table.rows.length;
var currentRow = table.rows[totalTableRow-1];
currentRow.id = "row_"+new_id;
currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace('_cid\['+ new_id-1 +'\]','_cid['+new_id+']');
currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace(new RegExp("changeCustomCategory(this.value,'"+_previousId+"')","g"),'changeCustomCategory(this.value,'+new_id+')');
currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace('_doVariation('+_previousId+')','_doVariation('+new_id+')');
}
You can perform your changes as the following:
//....
var newRow = jQuery("#"+ table.rows[0].id).clone().appendTo("#testTable");
//Change1
newRow.attr('name', '_cid['+new_id+']');
//Change2:
newRow.find('select').removeAttr('onchange').change(function() {
changeCustomCategory(this.value, new_id);
});
//Change3:
newRow.find('input:first').removeAttr('onchange').change(function() {
_doVariation(new_id);
});
//....
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/4c0v2d50/
I would suggest sticking to jquery functions and not mixing too much with plain javascript. It makes it easier to code and follow.
I believe this is what your trying to do:
change HTML
id="_cid" name="_cid[0]"//change in select to
class="_cid" name="_cid[]"//_cid[] will automatically increment
id="_qty" name="_qty[0]"//same in input
class="_qty" name="_qty[]"
//you should also change
id="item1_total"
class="item1_total"
Javascript
function addRow(){
var new_id = $("#total_row").val() + 1;
$("#total_row").val(new_id);
var $currentRow = $("#testTable tr:first").clone();
$("#testTable").append(currentRow);
$currentRow.attr(id,"row_"+new_id);
$currentRow.find('select').attr('onclick',"changeCustomCategory(this.value,'"+new_id+"')");
$currentRow.find('._qty').attr('onchange','_doVariation('+new_id+')');
}
Removed the inline binding and bound to the element in the logic. Started changing the first thing you were trying to do with a regex. You can see how you like this approach.
jQuery(function($) {
//cache selectors
var $total_row = $("#total_row"),
$table = $("#testTable");
$(".addRow").on('click', function addRow() {
var total_row = $total_row.val(),
_previousId = parseInt(total_row),
new_id = _previousId + 1;
$total_row.val(new_id);
var $new_row = $table.find("tr").eq(0).clone();
$new_row.attr("id", "row_"+ new_id);
$new_row.find("select").attr("name", "_cid["+ (new_id - 1) +"]");
$table.append($new_row);
// currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace('_cid\[' + new_id - 1 + '\]', '_cid[' + new_id + ']');
// currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace(new RegExp("changeCustomCategory(this.value,'" + _previousId + "')", "g"), 'changeCustomCategory(this.value,' + new_id + ')');
// currentRow.innerHTML = currentRow.innerHTML.replace('_doVariation(' + _previousId + ')', '_doVariation(' + new_id + ')');
});
});

$(currentRow).find('#_cid').attr('onclick',"changeCustomCategory(this.value,'"+new_id+"')");
$(currentRow).find('#_qty').attr('onclick','_doVariation('+new_id+')');}
Working fiddle.
The id attribute should be unique so you could replace the duplicate ones by class attributen example :
<select class="_cid" name="_cid[0]" >
<input type="text" value="1" class="_qty" name="_qty[0]"/>
Better if you could avoid the inline-event onclick() and the overriding of parameters in every clone and define a general event one time and it will work for all the element, example :
$('body').on('change','._cid', function(){
//You code here
})
You don't need to increment the names you have just to leave the array signs empty [] and it will be incremented automatically, example :
<select class="_cid" name="_cid[]" >
<input type="text" value="1" class="_qty" name="_qty[]"/>
Hope this helps.
$(function(){
$('body').on('change','._cid', function(){
var id_number = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id').split('_')[1];
changeCustomCategory($(this).val(),id_number);
})
$('body').on('change','._qty', function(){
var id_number = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id').split('_')[1];
_doVariation(id_number);
})
})

var new_id = $('.row').length + 1;

implementing quantity to update price of product and total price

i am creating a checkout page where users can purchase goods. i have managed to give each product its price but what I cant do is give them its quantity. i simply do no know how to do it. i created a quantity box for them but i can link the two.
my goal is to update the quantity and total price should be displayed on the checkout form.
since this is my homework for college, this must be done in strictly javascript if a solution arrives.
<script type="text/javascript">
function total(frm) {
var tot = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < frm.elements.length; i++) {
if (frm.elements[i].type == "checkbox") {
if (frm.elements[i].checked) tot += Number(frm.elements[i].value);
}
}
document.getElementById("totalDiv").firstChild.data = "£" + tot;
type = "text/javascript" > total(document.getElementById("theForm"));
}
</script>
<form action="nextpage" method="post" id="theForm">
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose your Products</legend>
<table style="padding:2px">
<tr>

Simple and fast solution
Well the simplest solution would be:
Number(frm.elements[i].value) * Number(frm.elements[i+1].value);
Since the quantity element always comes AFTER the checkbox element.
The JavaScript then becomes:
function total(frm)
{
var tot = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < frm.elements.length; i++) {
if (frm.elements[i].type == "checkbox") {
if (frm.elements[i].checked) tot +=
Number(frm.elements[i].value) * Number(frm.elements[i+1].value);
}
}
document.getElementById("totalDiv").firstChild.data = "£" + tot;
}
You can see this works here.
To guarantee that the total div also gets updated when quantity is changed, you should add the onclick="total(this.form);" event to the class="quantity" input elements as well.
You can see how nicely this works here.
More advanced solution
Personally, I would use tabIndex to group the checkbox and quality inputs.
For example, for the first product:
<td class="buttons">
<div>
<input tabindex="1" name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="25" onclick="total(this.form);" />£25</div>
<input tabindex="1" name="quantity" min="0" max="5" type="number" class="quantity" value="1" onclick="total(this.form);"/>
</td>
As you can see, I have explicitly defined the tabIndex and names.
Now for the JavaScript, I now use:
function total(frm)
{
var tot = 0;
var checkboxes = document.forms[frm.id].elements["checkbox"];
var quants = document.forms[frm.id].elements["quantity"];
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++)
{
if (checkboxes[i].checked)
{
// if tabIndex correctly specified
if (checkboxes[i].tabIndex == quants[i].tabIndex)
// add to total
tot += Number(checkboxes[i].value) * Number(quants[i].value);
else
// notify of bug
alert('Bug in code: tabIndex of checkbox '+i+' is not the same as tabIndex quantity '+i);
}
}
document.getElementById("totalDiv").firstChild.data = "£" + tot;
}
By doing it this way you get the following advantages:
Your HTML code makes more sense (input elements are grouped per tabIndex)
Your code is checked for bugs
You are absolutely sure that you multiply the correct input elements
You can find this code in this jsFiddle.
Good luck! I hope this helps you out!
Update
To create a sort of checkout system, you could go over all the elements again and store them in a variable.
Then make sure that the form implements a function upon submit:
action="javascript:checkout()"
so in total:
<form action="javascript:checkout()" id="theForm">
Easiest way to create the message would be to use one variable like so:
function checkout()
{
var message = "";
var checkboxes = document.forms["theForm"].elements["checkbox"];
var quants = document.forms["theForm"].elements["quantity"];
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++)
{
if (checkboxes[i].checked)
{
switch(checkboxes[i].tabIndex)
{
case 1: message += "iPhone"; break;
case 2: message += "Screen"; break;
case 3: message += "Laptop"; break;
case 4: message += "Coffee"; break;
default: message += "";
}
message += " Quantity: " + Number(quants[i].value) + " Price: £" + Number(checkboxes[i].value) * Number(quants[i].value) + "\n";
}
}
message += "\nTotal: " + document.getElementById("totalDiv").firstChild.data;
alert(message);
}
You can find a working implementation of this here.
Fancy solution
Or if you would like to make it a little bit more fancy, you could do the following:
Add the following HTML:
HTML
<br><br>
<div id="checkout">
<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Product</td>
<td>Quantity</td>
<td>Price</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Add the following JavaScript function:
JavaScript
function checkout()
{
document.getElementById("checkout").innerHTML = '<table id="myTable" border="1"><tr><td><b>Product</b></td><td><b>Quantity</b></td><td><b>Price</b></td></tr></table>';
// Find a <table> element with id="myTable":
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
var count = 0;
var max = 0;
var checkboxes = document.forms["theForm"].elements["checkbox"];
var quants = document.forms["theForm"].elements["quantity"];
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++)
{
if (checkboxes[i].checked)
{
switch(checkboxes[i].tabIndex)
{
case 1: message = "iPhone"; break;
case 2: message = "Screen"; break;
case 3: message = "Laptop"; break;
case 4: message = "Coffee"; break;
}
count += Number(quants[i].value);
max += 1;
// Create an empty <tr> element and add it to the table:
var row = table.insertRow(max);
// Insert new cells (<td> elements) at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
// Add some text to the new cells:
cell1.innerHTML = message;
cell2.innerHTML = Number(quants[i].value);
cell3.innerHTML = "£" + Number(checkboxes[i].value) * Number(quants[i].value);
}
}
// Calculate total
var row = table.insertRow(max+1);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
cell1.innerHTML = "<b>Total</b>";
cell2.innerHTML = count;
cell3.innerHTML = document.getElementById("totalDiv").firstChild.data;
}
The result looks like this:

Issue Cloning Form Fields Within Table with Javascript

In the code below it works great to clone the table, but it doesn't go deep enough to rename the inputs of each form field in the table. For example Attendee1, Attendee2, Attendee3 etc.
Is there a way instead of just grabbing NewEl.children a way to just find all the input elements within the table then rename them?
I am not trying to add a row, I need to clone the entire table.
Any help you all out there in cyberland can give will be greatly appreciated.

Looked like you were on the right track, but I think you were taking a few extra steps, so I think I simplified it ;)
One thing you were missing was that the value of NumStudents is returned as a string so you have to call parseInt() on it.
var theForm = document.forms.EditRoster;
function insertAfter(referenceNode, newNode) {
referenceNode.parentNode.insertBefore(newNode, referenceNode.nextSibling);
}
function CloneElement(cloneID, counterName) {
var clone = document.getElementById(cloneID);
var newClone = clone.cloneNode(true);
var counter = theForm[counterName].value = parseInt(theForm[counterName].value) + 1;
// Update the form ID
newClone.id = newClone.id + counter;
// Update the child Names
var items = newClone.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
if (items[i].name != null)
items[i].name = items[i].name + counter;
}
insertAfter(clone, newClone);
}
Here's a working copy on jsFiddle.
P.s. I wasn't sure if you wanted the new fields clearing so I left them.

JavaScript Renaming Form Image Input Name

I am developing this for use in Internet Explorer 8 (because at work we have to use it). I have a page that has a table withing a form. The table has a button to "clone" rows, "AddScheduleRow()". That part works good. Each row has a button to delete that row "DeleteRow(r)". That part works well too. I also have a script to rename/renumber each row, "RenumberRows()". It almost works good. I can rename the text fields (for example what was previously StartDate3 now becomes StartDate2). However, in each row is an input that is type="image" and it is named like you should with any input. The name of it is "StartDateCal". The problem is that during the renaming process, when it hits the image input (TheForm.StartDateCal[i].name = "StartDateCal" + TempCounter;), I get a JavaScript error "'TheForm.StartDateCal' is null or not an object". I cannot figure this one out and it's standing in the way of moving on.
What can I do to try to rename an < input type = image /> ?
Below is the necessary code:

<form name="UpdateSchedule" method="post" action="DoSchedule.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="NumRows" value="0">

might be to do with your DTD,
try HTML4 Strict:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
You can use
document.getElementsByName('StartDateCal')[i].name = "StartDateCal" + TempCounter;
instead of
TheForm.StartDateCal[i].name = "StartDateCal" + TempCounter;
